Driving at about 25 MPH turning onto an entrance ramp to the highway my car suddenly accelerated to speeds surpassing 85 and I could not make it stop. I tried stomping on the brakes and it first slowed the car but the acceleration overpowered them, I had to throw my car in neutral and turn it off completely to make my car stop.
