My vehicle has, on multiple and separate occasions, spontaneously accelerated. Thankfully no one and nothing has been hurt yet because i had time to throw it into neutral and stand on the brake, but it's a matter of time. Someone will get killed if this issue isn't fixed soon as i assume there are tons of these on the road.

Vehicle will not shift into correct gear when accelerating from a dead stop. Tops out at 3,000 rpms at 60mph. This is an intermittent problem. But will at least happen 2 times a day. When it happens you have to pull over and shut off the engine off and restart. This most likely will fix the problem. This is very dangerous when in traffic. This typically happens when you stop at a traffic light and start to take off.…
