Default Re: THE WATCHER Directional Change

Um Barry?
Is it possible for someone to take control of a vehicles gas and brake peddles while driving it?

I had something really weird happen last night.
I wasn't scared, cuz I was in a fairly safe spot anyway. But it startled me, cuz I..... well I didn't want to get stuck!
It didn't feel malicious, more like someone telling me to "just go for it!" by holding the gas peddle to the floor, and the brake peddle locked up so I couldn't push it.
I managed to pull the transmission out of gear.
I was debating whether I could manage to bust through a snow bank that was blocking my upper driveway on my way home last night. I took two tries at it, trying to pack a path down through it but only got about 1 foot into it. On the third try is when my peddles were seemingly taken out of my control, and my SUV went barreling at the snow bank a little faster than I wanted. Thought sure I'd get stuck.
It has never done that before, and so far hasn't since that one time. But definitely going to get it checked out to make sure nothing sticking or wrong with it.
