About four days ago check engine check light and oil light came on. I checked the oil which was fine and planned on taking to the garage this week. As I was driving to work at approximately 3:00 pm on may 21, 2007 I made a left hand turn from us 1 onto southampton road. As I accelerated the car the engine accelerated to full speed. I immediately pressed the brake , but the engine continued to speed up. I put the transmission into neutral and the rpms red lined above 7000 rpms. I shut off the car and attempted to restart it and it started normally, but as soon as I accelerated, it repeated with the same unintentional acceleration. Fotunately there were no cars in front of me or I would certainly have been involved in a serious accident.

When accelerating the vehicle loses power. The dashboard lights come on, and the vehicle shuts down intermittently. The consumer tried to contact the dealership manager, but the manager refused to discuss the problem. The vehicle would run in high gear and never change gears and would run up to 50 mph before it stops, there were times when the vehicle would run perfectly, there were noises coming from the front end, and when the vehicle pulled out from stop, while in traffic, the consumer would be able to accelerate to the floor and the vehicle would take off at 5 mph.
