Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME FROM AIRPORT AFTER RETURNING HOME LATE AT NIGHT MY CAR RANDOMLY ACCELERATED AND DRIVE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. CAR THEN DRIVE NORMAL A FEW MORE MIN B4 DOING THIS AGAIN JUMPING ON ITS OWN WHILE ONLY GOING 15 MH UP TO 2 AND 3000TPM. I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF CAR THEN BACK ON. CAR WAS FINE THE NEXT 5 MILE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE 15MILES FINE WHEN THE CAR STARTED THIS AGAIN. I PULLED OVER NOTICED SLIGHT SMOKE BUT WAS LESS THAN 1 MILE FROM SAFETY SO I TRIED MAKING IT. THE CAR AGAIN JUMPED AT LOW SPEED UP TO 3000 RPM AND STAYED THERE. BREAKING AND GOING ON IT'S OWN. ONCE I MADE IT TO SAFETY I PARKED CAR. UPON GETTING IT TOWED FOUND THAT MY AXEL CAME UNSEATED DURING THIS AND LOST ALL TRAN FLUID. CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR. UPON RESEAT OF AXEL AND REPLACE TRAN FLUID CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. AFTER READING ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES I'M THINKING THAT THE AXEL WAS NOT THE ISSUE BUT THE RESULT OF WHATEVER THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT CAUSED IT TO UNSEAT TO BEGIN WITH. IF IT WOULDN'T OF BEEN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING I WOULD OF MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I'M TERRIFIED OF MY CAR NOW. LUCKILY I WAS ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET BOTH TIMES
