VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. IT MADE IT A FOOT OR SO BEFORE STOPPING. SOON AFTER, THE VEHICLE AT RANDOM TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND HORN. IGNITION BECAME NON-RESPONSIVE AND I HAD TO PULL BATTERY CABLE TO SILENCE EVERYTHING. HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND RECEIVED LECTURE ABOUT NOT PULLING BATTERY CABLE AND WAS CHARGED $90 SO A TECH COULD FIX THIS. THE TIPM MODULE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES DOWN THE STREET, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND JERKED TO A STOP. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE FRONT AND THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING WITHOUT MY TURNING THEM ON. THE HORN STARTED HONKING BY ITSELF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND CARS WERE DRIVING PAST MY VEHICLE EXTREMELY FAST AND I FEARED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY TWO CHILDREN. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO START THE CAR TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE FAST MOVING CARS, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ANOTHER 20 MINUTES. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, THE HORN WOULD NOT STOP HONKING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEPT GOING EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT HAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE DOORS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON ITS OWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY TWO CHILDREN WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARRIVED TO ASSIST ME. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THIS INCIDENT AND REMAINS PARKED. *TR
