“Drove for an hour, parked for 20 mins started proceeding south drive about 500ft to make right turn when vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control reving up swirving out if control on the northbound lane almost hitting cars and a tree. Finally I got it to stop by breaking and parked at the side of the street in the southbound lane. I thought I was about to crash kill some onw and die. This was an unnerving terrifying experience”
