| Description of the problem | I rented this car from hertz in chicago. Illinois. Hertz vehicle number 02298/5188636, rented from 7/21 to 7/26, 2011. There were three incidents on 7/25/2011 that the car accelerated while i had my foot on the brake. In each incident i was stopped at a traffic light with my right foot on the brake pedal. While my foot was on the brake, the engine speed up and i had to apply extreme pressure on the brake to prevent the car from moving forward. In one incident i could only stop the car from moving forward by shifting into neutral and watching the tachometer red line. The car operated normally after the light turned to green and i was able to through the car into drive and press down on the accelerator pedal. I reported it to hertz, but i don't know that they did anything. |
