VEHICLE LEFT RUBBER MARKS FROM ALL FOUR WHEELS FOR SEVERAL FEET BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO BEING IT UNDER CONTROL. APPLICATION OF BOTH FEET TO BRAKE PEDAL DIDN'T STOP THE ACCELERATION AND PROBLEM VANISHED AS QUICKLY AS IT APPEARED. ALL INDICATIONS NOMINAL AFTER THE EVENT, BUT AM NOW VERY CONCERNED OF PERSONAL LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF AN INJURY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN SAY WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT TOUCHED. ONE OTHER DETAIL I MIGHT MENTION IS THAT AS I WAS ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, SOMETHING REGISTERED THAT THE PEDAL "FELT FUNNY". I'VE ATTEMPTED TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM... USING THE BRAKE WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO REMOVE ANY...
