| Description of the problem | I experienced unintended acceleration twice this week. The first incident took place on january 31, 2014. The other was february 1, 2014. Both incidents took place at low speeds. Basically as i was coming to a stop, the car just accelerated out of control. I was under 5mph on both incidents. What it feels like is as i am coming to a slow down the transmission does not go down in gear and just thrusts and takes off. I ran into a hedge in the parking lot on the february 1st incident. I was able to apply the brakes, but not in time to avoid the collision with the hedge. I did not have my foot on, or near the accelerator. Both times my foot was on the brake. |
