While driving on freeway with children in car on freeway, car suddenly made a hard sound, speedometer dropped to 0 instantly, all dash board lights came on, rpm stayed between 2 and 3, once traffic slowed and accelerator was eased off of car began to slow and would not pick back up speed when pressed again- even when pushed all the way down. I pulled over to the shoulder and turned the engine off. Then turned it back on. Then I tried to put it into gear. The engine sound as if gas was being given to engine from accelerator and rpm was stuck at 2-3, when put into gear, car jolted really hard and moved ever so slowely when I tried to drive it back into traffic to get my family off freeway, even when I pressed pedal all the way to the floor, car barely moved. I had to keep trying multiple times to turn engine off, try to put it in gear, and get car going just to get it off freeway to safety. Car eventually pulled into gear and drove normally after several tries. A single mother, with infant and older child on board, on a very busy freeway is very, scary scary scary. This happens often on either the freeway (driving fast) or driving out of the park's parking lot at slow pace. Car slips out of gear or something and will not accelerate when I give it gas.

I attempted to park behind a parked vehicle. I backed out of a driveway approx 60' from the parked car and when I put the car in drive the engine started to race & rev very quickly (6 - 7 rpm) like the accelerator was stuck. The car raced forward and would not stop until it hit the parked vehicle. I tried to brake immediately but the car continued to move forward. I applied both feet with more pressure on the brake and the car would not stop. The only thing that finally stopped the car was the parked car in front of me. My husband was the passenger and can verify the facts. Another person (female) who lives at the house next to the parked vehicle also came out to verify that she heard a car's engine racing/revving up before the actual impact. There were others in the yard (graduation party) across the street that also heard the revving/racing engine before they heard the impact/crash. There was no fault of mine that this car had a mind of it's own and proceeded to accelerate forward and the brakes could not stop it from hitting a parked car. I am just glad that we were not injured and that no one else was hurt or killed.
