Sudden acceleration. Happened 3-4 times before. Cruise control on highway. I rolled into it (that is not flooring it) and it would not stop accelerating. Used brakes to control car, turned off ignition, and stopped on shoulder. I had to wait what seemed like 2-3 minutes before it would restart without racing. Tonight was different. I had braked off cruise control as i exited 94e to 65n. As i began to plan my merge…

I stomped the gas pedal and tried to get it to release with no luck. I finally turned the ignition…

While driving to work one chilly morning i could not feel any warm air coming from the heat or the windshield defroster. I had to return to home because the windows were fogging up and i had no heat. I drove another car to work that day. I later discovered the thermostat housing gasket had a slow leak and allowed most of the antifreeze to leak out. This was the reason the defroster was not working also the…
