Description of the problem | Traveling on a highway, no cruise control set. Maintaining 70-73 mph. All of a sudden i felt my car surge, speed up on its own. I took my foot off the gas pedal briefly and the car continued to surge. I heard the engine make acceleration sound like i was speeding off a ramp to get on to a highway. Confused as to what was going on, i stepped on my brake twice. I then noticed i had control again of the speed. I wasn't really sure what happened. |
