Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A DRIVETHRU AT KFC AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND DAMAGE THE GAS LINE. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I SAW A RECALL ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS WHILE THE CAR STILL RAN WITH A RED SECURITY LIGHT. IT WAS 8:30AM AND THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS INVOLVED AND I WAS NOT USING THE DRIVETHRU, I WAS JUST DRIVING UP TO THE DOOR TO SEE WHAT TIME THE ESTABLISHMENT OPENED. *TR
