Consumer Description

WHEN BRAKING AND STOPPING OR BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE AND NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. I'M VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR IF ANYONE ELSE HAS REPORTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *AK
