NHTSA complaint: 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE I ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE I SHOULD STOP. AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PULL UP A LITTLE BIT MORE THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND WENT INTO MY SON'S TOOL BOX AND IF IT WASN'T THERE WOULD OF GONE THROUGH THE DINING ROOM WALL OUT THE OTHER SIDE. AS IT WAS THE TOOL BOX WENT INTO THE WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEPT ON GO AS FULL SPEED, THE TIRES WERE SPINNING AND THERE WERE SKID MARKS ON THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE GARAGE WAS FULL OF SMOKE FROM THE TIRES THAT IS HOW FAST THE CAR WAS GOING. I HAD TROUBLE SHUTTING OFF THE CAR.
