Description of the problem	Sudden acceleration. I was slowing for a traffic light i expected to turn red. I had my foot on the floor boards, away from the accelerator, letting the care slow by itself. The light did turn red and i had to apply the brakes. I keep my left foot to the left of the brakes on the floor board. As i applied the brakes with my right foot i felt my left foot so i knew i applied the brakes. Car accelerated. Only putting the transmission i neutral and flooring the brake pedal with both feet prevented a wreck. No warning lights came on. In october of 2011 the dealer replaced ignition coil; packs spark plugs and spark plug wires. However on 5/7/12 the problem returned- worse than ever before the car finally stopped tachometer reading was 4700 rpm. Doctors often ask patients to rate pain open a scale of 1-10. This incident would rate an 8. Please issue a recall before more people experience this and could kill people. Or a buyback for what the buyer paid including all loan fees and interest.. I also request a federal directive requiring all cars to have brake overrides and for a free retrofit of all car models with a history of this problem. I have only 68,000 miles on the car and 66,800 when i bought the car.
