My brother did the same thing with his truck. It was wet and he had to stop rather quickly. He said the truck wouldn't stop and when it eventually did, the rear tires were spinning. That's when he noticed his foot was on the throttle as well as the brake. He was rather embarrassed. Ron

So they went driving downtown with her on three different occasions sitting and watching speed adn when she hit brakes...when it happened they saw what it was. Brother was embarrassed for raising so much hell when nobody else was having problem in area....but glad they figured it out. He threw her shoes away and told her to go buy a different style. LOL
Hopefully yours is something simple as well....rather than a safety or recall item. I just drove mine through Wash DC traffic with air conditioner for a week...never a problem...lurch....or even feeling like it was going to do anything. Good luck.
