Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 DODGE INTREPID 2.7 LITER ENGINE. IT HAS ABOUT 95,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS PULLING MY CAR FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR/THROTTLE STUCK AND PLUNGED MY VEHICLE INTO A JEEP IN MY DRIVEWAY. I ALMOST PUSHED THAT VEHICLE ALMOST INTO THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE TO PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENCE, AND IT CRASHED INTO A TREE (WITH THE THROTTLE STILL STUCK). THE TREE STOPPED MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT IT INTO PARK. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE JEEP BECAUSE IT HAD A SQUARE METAL BUMPER, BUT I WAS NOT SO FORTUNATE. I HAVE FRONTAL DAMAGE AS WELL AS EXTENSIVE REAR DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS GOING AT SUCH A FAST RATE OF SPEED THAT THE DRIVEWAY HAD DEEP MARKS IN IT FROM THE ACCELERATION AND ME TRYING TO BRAKE. THE CAR HAD TO TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF FURTHER INJURY/INCIDENCE.
