Consumer Description

2 separate incidents today. While driving down a two lane highway traffic came to a stop . I hit the gas to resume driving but the engine revved and the car didn’t move. I realized the emergency brake light was on showing the brake was engaged. After coasting downhill. I bet the gas to maintain speed but the car jerked and engine revved. I looked at the Peking brake and saw that the emergency brake light was on on the dash and the brake had self engaged again.
