| Description of the problem | While decelerating to turn into our drive way the vehicle rapidly accelerated. We were able to get it stopped by using the brakes, ending up in the yard/sidewalk. There were approximately 10 feet of skid marks. The engine was racing while the brakes were being applied. The floor mat was not involved. The increased engine rpm was not initiated nor controllable by the operator. This was truly an uncontrolled run away that could have been life threatening. |
