Consumer Description

While driving to work the car started to accerlate on its own. My foot was not on the gas and I had put my foot on the brake pedal to slow the car down. My work is only 3 miles away but for that 3 miles I had to ride the brake because the car wanted to speed up. The highest it got to was over 35 mph until I applied the brake harder. I even took my foot off of the pedals completely to make sure I wasn’t accidentally pressing both pedals. There were not obstructions or floor mats bunched up under the pedal.
