Vehicle accident due to sudden acceleration. Mjs

Filed Aug 25, 1999 · Acceleration · KS

I had my car in cruise control, set at 70mph, and I was cresting a hill when my car lost power. I took it off cruise control but it would not run. It would surge then slow down. It seemed to have vapor locked. I had many close calls with other cars because I was in heavy traffic. I had to drive on the shoulder with my flashers on until I could get to a gas station. I shut the car off for 2 hours and it was ok. It has done this several times , I have had many repairs on it and it still is not fixed.
