Consumer Description

THAT MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK HEADING EAST ON STATE ROAD 56. I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS EXCEEDING 100 MPH AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING HOT!!. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T A SCHOOL BUS PICKING UP CHILDREN AT THAT TIME. I FINALLY DECIDED TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCKUP; BUT IT WORKED. *TR
