“I had an oil change on saturday. After leaving the service station and driving home the vehicle begin to accelerate on its own. I tried breaking but the vehicle continued to accelerate. After barely missing two vehicles and unable to come to a complete stop, I turned off the main road and killed the ignition. Still unaware of what was happening I waited a few minutes and attempted to complete my mission home only to run into the same behavior. Once I arrived home I parked the car until monday morning. Unable to drive I called the tow truck company and had my SUV taken to the dealership. …”
