Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE GETTING HOME FROM A SHORT TRIP. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD TO TURN SHARPLY TO AVOID A PARKED CAR AND WAS HEADED STRAIGHT INTO OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT IT JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABOUT TO THROW THE CAR INTO PARK WHEN I REGAINED CONTROL. STOPPED THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK AND TOLD MY TERRIFIED DAUGHTER TO GET OUT AND GO IN THE HOUSE. I BACKED UP, PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PARKED IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW.
