Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 6, 2008, I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHEN I WAS MAYBE A FEW MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP,WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO ALMOST 100MPH, WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM STOPPED, THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE CROSSED OVER FOUR LANES JUMPED A CURB AND I ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A NEARBY HOUSE. I SPENT DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, AND NOW I HAVE A FRACTURED KNEE, BROKEN THUMB, AND MAY CUTS AND BRUISES. THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS, PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK!!!! *TR
