Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE AND SUDDENLY I COULD NOT CONTROL MY CAR. IT ACCELERATED AND I COULD NOT STOP IT. I HIT THE BRAKE AND CAR DIDNT STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO MY REFRIGERATOR IN THE GARAGE. IT HAPPENED SO FAST, LIKE A BAD DREAM. I COULD NOT CONTROL MY CAR. I WAS ONLY GOING APPROX 5 MILES AND HOUR THEN IT ACCELERATED TO A GREAT SPEED I COULD NOT CONTROL OR STOP MY CAR.
