ABOUT FOUR DAYS AGO CHECK ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS FINE AND PLANNED ON TAKING TO THE GARAGE THIS WEEK. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM ON MAY 21, 2007 I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM US 1 ONTO SOUTHAMPTON ROAD. AS I ACCELERATED THE CAR THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO FULL SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE BRAKE , BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SPEED UP. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS RED LINED ABOVE 7000 RPMS. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND IT STARTED NORMALLY, BUT AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED, IT REPEATED WITH THE SAME UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. FOTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *AK
