The acceleration would drop out and pick back up for a second or two. It appeared as if the brakes had been applied, but no brake lights would illuminate. As a result, other drivers could not be forewarned about the deceleration, potentially causing the risk for a crash. The failure occurred while driving 40 MPH or while accelerating to some extent. …”
