Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING OVER THE WHITESTONE BRIDGE IN NY, AT THE CREST OF THE BRIDGE THE VEHICLES ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE REDUCING THE SPEED OF VEHICLE FROM 50 MPH TO 5 MPH IN THE COURSE OF LESS THEN A MINUTE. I WAS NEARLY KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WHO WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND MY CAR. THE CART ROLLED DOWN THE BRIDGE WITH LIMITED POWER. FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM READING ON VARIOUS CALIBER WEBSITES THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
