Consumer Description

I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR. IT FELT TO ME THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS RACING. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT HAD JUST CHANGED AND I WAS ACCELERATING TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT. THAT IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF MY CONTROL. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR AWAY FROM THE SCENE BUT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. THAT IS WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE THE ENGINE APPEARS TO BE STUCK WITH THE THROTTLE OPEN. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT BUT HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. *TR
