Description of the problem | While trying to slow on a highway curve by pushing the brake, i was unable to do so. The car continued to speed up as i pushed the brake. I pulled my foot back and reapplied the brake with no affect, the car was continuing to speed up. I do not know if i removed my foot from the brake or just slammed the brake. The brake took hold the car jerked. I removed my foot from the brake and continued to drive. For a brief period i did not have control of the car.. This was not my first unexplained acceleration incident. The other 2 times i was slowing into a redlight by just removing my foot from the gas. The car slowed as i expected it to do then it just began to slowly speed up. I was not going down hill. The brakes worked and i was able to stop. The dealership was unable to duplicated those incidents. |
