Consumer Description

MY WIFE & I WERE VISITING A FRIENDS HOUSE WITH MY WIFE DRIVING. SHE PUT THE VAN INTO REVERSE TO LEAVE WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED & WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH BOTH. FEET ON THE BRAKE. WE SHOT OUT THE DRIVEWAY AT HIGH SPEED & CONTINUED DOWN THE ROADWAY UNTIL MY WIFE LOST CONTROL & CRASHED INTO A DITCH; THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE VAN WAS HITTING A LARGE ROCK. THIS OF COURSE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL. MY WIFE SUFFERED A SMALL CUT TO HER CALF; I WAS UNINJURED. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE ROADWAY AT THAT TIME OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS !! MY WIFE IS SO SHOOK UP BY THIS INCIDENT THAT SHE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE HER VAN. *TR
