I was driving a Ford Fusion that I had rented from hertz in minot, north dakota. I was pulling out of the parking space and luckily had my foot on the brake when the car suddenly accelerated. I had to push down very hard on the brake pedal to keep the car under control. I immediately put the car in "park" and the acceleration slowed down. I drove the car that day but reported the incident to hertz and urged them to get the car checked. The Ford Fusion had less than 3000 miles on the odometer so I assume that it was a 2010 model.
