While slowing to make a stop at an intersection, the vehicle experienced sudden acceleration and would not stop. The car struck the vehicle in front of it a couple of times and continued to accelerate.
The bolt stopped providing power when I was driving down a 4 lane freeway. It has already failed 3 times in the past, this is the 4th time.
