Consumer Description

MY WIRE GOT INTO THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY, STARTED THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY PUT IT INTO "DRIVE". THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO ITS MAXIMUM RPMS, FRONT WHEELS SPUN ON ASPHALT DRIVE, FINALLY GRIPPED THE DRIVE AND SHOT DOWN THE DRIVE AT ABOUT 50MPH. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR..NO BRAKES. THE CAR HIT OUR FIREWOOD STACK AND PUSHED THE WOOD IN FRONT OF THE CAR UNTIL THE FRONT WHEELS CAME OFF THE GROUND, THEN HIT A TREE AT THE END OF THE DRIVE. THE ENGINE STOPPED, SHE TURNED OFF THE KEY AND EXITED THE CAR. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR EARLIER IN THE DAY AND COULD NOT GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ACTIVATE. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS EVENT! *AK
