Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED (IT WAS NOT TURNED ON) AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UP TO 80+ MPH. I PRESSED THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, BRAKED AND TRIED OTHER MEASURES BUT NOTHING WAS SLOWING THE CAR DOWN. I PUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO TRY AND SLOW THE CAR DOWN BUT THAT JUST MADE A LOUD NOISE AND CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, IT AGAIN TOOK OFF AND STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN.*AK
