Description of the problem	My wife was gradually pulling out of a drive up window at a bank, where there is @ 30 feet before she got to the road and the car immediately accelerated at a high rate of speed, needing to slam on the brakes with all her strength, sliding sideways into the road. The accelerating discontinued when she slammed on the brakes. She then had to put the car in reverse to get out of oncoming traffic. She then drove home @ 1mile and is afraid to drive the car again. I checked and the floor mats are not in the way of the accelerated (they are fastened to the floor). I did not see anything else that would bind the accelerator. *js
