I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A DRIVEWAY. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR TOOK OFF UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN WHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD BEEN WORKED ON, I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS "ON". THIS MAY THE REASON IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR
