#705657April 15, 1999
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE ON MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO WORK. I GENTLY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL LIKE I DO EVERY DAY. THE CAR JUMPED LIKE A BULLET SPUN 180 DEGREES HIT A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD SPUN AROUND FOR ANOTHER 180 DEGREES AND LANDED IN MY FRONT YARD. THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WAS TOTALY DESTROID AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BADLY DAMAGED WHEN THE CAR SPUN THE SECOND TIME AND HIT ANOTHER TREE IN MY FRONT YARD. I THINK WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL SOMEHOW IT GOT STUCK AND CAUSED THE RAPID UNCONTROL ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. I CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT MAKE A REPORT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN A PRIVATE PROPERTY AND NOBODY WAS INJURED. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALER.

HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN 4 TIMES AND THEY JUST RESET IT. THEY KEEP ON TELLING THAT THERE'S NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YET. THEY CONTACTED THE HEADQUARTERS, AND THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO SATISFY ME. I DO NOT FEEL CONFORTABLE ABOUT MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO MISS WORK AND SCHOOL SO MUCH FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND YET THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK I HAVE A LEMON AND I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING THIS SITUATION. *AK
