| Description of the problem | While driving to work my car started doing 50 mph without my foot on any pedal. I had to ride the brake to keep it within the speed limit of 20 in the school zone and then 35 on the road. When i arrived at a red light the car tried to move forward even with the brake pressed all the way down. I put the car in neutral and the engine started revving. I turned the car off and back on and still had the same revving and pulling. I pulled off the road and put it in park and the car kept revving. I turned it off and kept it off for several minutes, when i turned it back on i still had the same issue. I carefully drove the car back home (about a mile total trip) riding the brake the whole time to keep the car from getting away from me. No mat was near the pedals, i tried moving to a lower gear, i made sure all cruise controls were off, nothing helped. It was the most terrifying experience i have ever had while driving! |
