I, ALONG WITH MY WIFE, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SLOT WITH SEAT BELTS SECURELY FASTENED AND STARTED DRIVING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR WENT INTO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I HAD NO CONTROL ON BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THE CAR. I STEER THE CAR ON TO MIDDLE CURB OF THE PARKING LOT. FIRST I HIT THE GATE, WHICH WAS FLEXIBLE AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR. NEXT THING I HIT WAS A LIGHT POLE. THE CAR STOPPED WITH BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, LOT OF DAMAGE TO CAR (COMPLETELY TOTALED) AND CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY TO ME AND MY WIFE WHO WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DUE TO THE SPEED OF THE CAR, THE CONCRETE BASE WAS LIFTED FROM THE GROUND AND THE POLE FELL IN FRONT AWAY FROM THE CAR. WE BOTH CHECKED INTO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CRASH. THIS WAS CAUSED BY MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE CAR. THE REASON I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE: A) I JUST LEFT THE PRAYER HALL, WHERE I GO FREQUENTLY AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THE SURROUNDING WHERE OTHER CARS ARE PARKED AND MOVING, PEOPLE ARE WALKING TO AND FROM THEIR CARS, AND HAD NO REASON TO ACCELERATE; B) I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ACCIDENT FREE FOR PAST 39 YEARS, MY DRIVING RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF; C) DRIVING IS REQUIRED IN THE PROFESSION I AM IN, WHERE I HAVE TO VISIT CLIENTS FEW TIMES A WEEK; D) I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR OVER 4 YEARS. E) I AM A FAMILY MAN AND NOT A RECKLESS DRIVER. I CARE TOO MUCH FOR MY FAMILY, AND ESPECIALLY MY GRANDSON, TO TAKE A CHANCE LIKE THIS; F) I AM PERFECTLY HEALTHY AND CONSCIO
