Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had several episodes over the past 6 years of my car accelerating without me stepping on the gas. in fact, it usually happens when i have first started the car, and am stepping on the brakes when pulling out of driveway, or coming to a stop at traffic lights, etc. my brakes can barely stop the car, and the only way i can get the car to go back to normal is to put it in park once i have stopped. immediately i hear the engine stop revving, and then when i put the car in drive it's working normally. *ak
