Description of the problem | Unexpected acceleration incident at approx 12:30 pm, friday, 12 mary 2010 in virginia beach va. Road dry, traction good. Speed limit 35 but i had begun slowing (coasting) in anticipation of red light as i approached an intersection. When light changed to red began to brake and experienced rapid pulsing of the brake system (somewhat similar to operation of anti-lock brakes on icy roads) at about 2nd or 3rd pulse, engine rpm increased rapidly from approx 1200 rpm to 4000 rpm plus. Cut the ignition and brought vehicle to a safe stop. Interval to car ahead had opened as i slowed prior to braking so was able to stop without collision, but would have rear-ended car ahead if i had been an normal interval when this incident occurred. |
