“While driving the vehicle the check engine light came on. The vehicle continued to function normally and was driven home and parked. On a later trip the same day the light remained illuminated and vehicle began to accelerate on its own. I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal and the vehicle rapidly went from 30 MPH to 50 MPH. I was able to slow the car down with braking and pulled off the road. When put in neutral the engine rapidly accelerated to approx. 4000rpm, in park it slowed closer to idle. …”
