| After receiving a jump, i was told to drive the car for about 20 minutes to recharge the battery. after driving for about 10 minutes, the gas pedel seemed to stick. then when driving the speed began to accelerate without pressing the gas pedel. the longer we drove the higher the engine reved. i decided to return to my home about 5 minutes away then the car brake would not stop the car at a stop light and i had to quickly turn the corner to a side street until the light changed and i was able to enter my street. i pulled the car to the side to park it and it would not stop with my foot on the brake to the floor so i quickly put it in park and turned it off. it reved a few seconds before finally turning off. | |||
