Consumer Description

WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, PREPARED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN PARKING IN THE CARPORT STALL THERE WAS INSTEAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THE CAR "JUMPED" OVER THE CONCRETE CURB ON THE FLOOR AND BROKE THROUGH THE CARPORT WALL. ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED SOME YEARS EARLIER WHEN THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. FRIGHTENING AS IT WAS I MANAGED TO REACH DOWN AND MANUALLY RELEASE THE PEDAL.
