It is getting worse as I was backing out of parking lot at the grocery store car jumped felt like the acclerator was stuck, I hit my brake and it felt as if it went to the floor. I almost hit another car thank god there was no one walking behind my car. It was frightning.”

Recently while at lights I have felt the car try to accelerate while I am stopped and my foot is on the brakes. I always have to hit the brakes extremely hard in order to get the car to stop.”
