Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 20, 2010, I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPACE AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES FROM MY HOME. AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE, I HEARD THE ENGINE REV, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD "KICKED IN" AND MY BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. RATHER THAN HIT A CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY PARKING SPACE, I TURNED THE VEHICLE TO GO UP A CURB AND HIT A TREE. ONCE THE TREE STOPPED THE CAR, I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, BACK DOWN OFF THE CURB, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND PULL OUT THE KEY. OIL WAS POURING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOME, WAS EXAMINED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND WAS WRITTEN OFF AS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
