| Description of the problem | I was doing 65 on the 60 freeway in city of walnut ca. And all of a sudden my car began to accelerate full speed, i looked at my dash just to see if cruise control was on, "which it was not" so i pressed the brake but the car kept on accelerating so i had to hold the brake down as hard as i could but despite doing that i was doing between 60 and 70 mph, i could not even get the car to go less than 60 mph no matter what, my exit came and i could not even get off by this time i had to swerve around cars because i could not slow down i was already panicking i really thought i was going to die finally after a few more seconds the car stopped accelerating and i was in control i need help to have this corrected as soon as possible please. Thank you |
