| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway my vehicle started accelerating on its own and kept climbing to higher speeds reaching 100mph and greater, even while pressing the breaks the vehicle still accelerated on its own. Finally after reaching a safe area to do so i had to switch the vehicle to neutral, once slow enough i then placed the vehicle into park and shut it off immediately as it was still revving and the engine began to smoke a little. From there i had my vehicle towed to lithia hyundai, i was too scared to turn it back on. Thank goodness my children were not in the car and thank goodness i did not have to cross any intersections. *dt |
