Description of the problem | I'm driving down the freeway at 60 mph and tap on the brakes to slow down and once i let my foot off the brake, with my foot off the gas pedal, the car continues to accelerate. Tried just about everything. Turning cruise control on and off, putting it in neutral, tapping the brakes, still continued to accelerate and randomly stopped once i applied the brakes for the 5th time.
