Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON OCCASION TO WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN HILL, MY FOOT IS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE WAY BUT BEFORE MY VEHICLE REACHES THE STOP SIGN, IT WILL STOP BRAKING AND GO. MY FOOT NEVER LEFT THE BRAKE PEDAL. NEVER CHANGED THE PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE MY VEHICLE IS RELEASING SOME SORT OF PRESSURE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, FORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
