Default Anyone have this problem with Brother PQ1500s?

hey all, I have an older Brother PQ1500s that is my main quilter. I use it as a sit down (not on a frame) quilter and have done a lot of FMQ with it, using a variety of different threads as well as different thicknesses of quilt sandwiches etc. it had been handling anything I threw at it until recently when it began doing a strange speed up when I let off the foot controller. it doesn't always do this, but when it does the red needle down light starts to flash and the machine stops working. if I turn it off and then back on the light stops blinking and the machine works again. This has gotten more frequent over the past couple of months and today, I had to turn my machine off and back on at least 10 times while quilting. has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

thanks,
Rob
