My car is accelerating on its own like the gas pedal is stuck or something. The rpm goes all the way up to 4. 000. It is very scary because you don't have control of the car speeding on its own which is very hard to come to a complete stop . When I finally manage to stop the car by putting the car in neutral and hitting my breaks, I then put the car in park. The car still continues to accelerates on its own. I have to tap the gas pedal to make it calm down or it will keep accelerating even if I turn the vehicle off and start it back up again.
