“First noticed when I was in line at a drive through car would jump forward. 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.”
