PLEASE INVESTIGATE! APPROX. 3 DAYS AGO I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA & APPLIED BRAKES. SPEED LIMIT IS 25, BUT I WAS GOING SLOWER, JUST TO THE CORNER PAST MY HOME. NOT ONLY DID BRAKES NOT WORK- THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN TO ABOUT 35-40 MPH- NO GAS APPLIED. TRIED PUMPING BRAKES, SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, REVERSE, PARK- ALL WHILE AT AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATED SPEED. I PLOWED INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD WHICH HAD A SMALL HILL THINKING MAYBE I COULD STOP THE CAR THAT WAY. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I SWERVED BACK INTO THE STREET; CAR STILL REVVING AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THAT POINT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO A HOUSE, POLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP HALFWAY ON THE STREET AND HALFWAY ON A CURB AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING THE BRAKES AND SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK (VEHICLE STILL ACCELERATING AS IF IT WAS POSSESSED!!) AND JUST BEFORE HITTING A LIGHT POLE, WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN THINKING I'D RATHER JUMP OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE THAN DIE FROM RAMMING INTO A POLE, HOUSE OR CAR- I THOUGHT TO TURN PHYSICALLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAS THE CAR WOULD STOP MOVING. THIS WAS A VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER- WHATEVER IT IS. MY MECHANIC STILL HAS NOT DETERMINED WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE KNOW IT ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS JUST FIXING THE BRAKES. I AND/OR OTHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE PROCESS AND EVEN WORSE, MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHICH THANKFULLY THEY WERE NOT. THIS WAS SUCH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. IF I HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT TO ANYONE ELSE- IT'S THAT DANGEROUS! PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS PROBLEM IS DEADLY. 2004 CADILLAC SRX 4DR
