Car Accelerates On Its Own problem #1

Car accelerates spontaneously when brake pedal is depressed and car is slowing for traffic or traffic lights, difficult to stop forward motion with brake pedal.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Oil shot out the car while driving at high speed on the freeway, causing all the oil to shoot out, and the entire function of the car to stop working. The engine essentially died, causing the brake, the gas, and steering to lock and not work. Car went from 65 miles a hr to 5 milesw, very scary summary on certain passenger vehicles, prolonged high under-hood temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely causing the hose to crack and leak power steering fluid. Consequence power steering fluid leaking onto a hot catalytic converter will generate smoke and possibly lead to an under-hood fire.
