Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving on 35 w north bound, in the fast lane going approximately. 70 mph. all of a sudden my conversion van started to accelerate, i tapped my brakes as if i was using my cruise, which i wasn't. the van then slowed a few seconds and then took off out of control, it accelerated so fast so quick, i looked down at my speedometer and i was going over 90 mph at this point, i was pushing on the brake and the tires were spinning and smoking very fast, i was able to get to the slow lane and then whipped onto the shoulder and part ditch with both of my feet pushing as hard as i could and through the vehicle in park the smell, was so strong i thought the vehicle may start on fire we exited as quick as we can and waited under the underpass for help. *nm
