I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD NOT FAR FROM MY HOME AND GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO OVER 50 MPH. I BEGAN TO BRAKE, BUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SOMEONE WAS PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. IT WAS A DEFINITE HARD PUSH ON THE BRAKE -- AS IF I HAD LOST POWER BRAKES. THERE WERE CARS AHEAD OF ME STOPPED IN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO STOP -- BUT BARELY. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AFTER FINALLY STOPPING MY CAR WHEN IT SURGED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET WHILE MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE....
