| This is the 1st incident. driving like usual, up a hill at approximately 45 miles per hour then let go of gas and brake to let the car go down the hill itself. suddenly, the car sounded like it has shifted and at the same time speed up by itself. thought i switched to manual drive, so try to switch back, but no switches was mad. try to step on the brake, the car would not stop. so, try to switch from auto to manual drive, car still has no reaction. step on the brake forcefully to have the car stop. thank goodness this was late at night so no car was behind or in front of me. *tr | |||
