VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS CAR BEGAN "LURCHING" AT FIRST. THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND INSTALLED A BLACK BOX DEVICE TO RECORD ANY FUTURE PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING TO HIGH SPEEDS ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY REMEDY (ASIDE FROM BRAKING WHICH STALLED THE VEHICLE) WAS TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. I TRAVELLED THREE MILES TO MY HOUSE AND NEARLY COLLIDED WITH SEVERAL CARS DUE TO THIS MYSTERIOUS ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SIYUATION AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!*AK
