WHILE TRAVELING THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY PUTS ITSELF INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE THEN LOCKS UP THE BREAKS AND SKIDS ACROSS THE ROAD. AFTER SKIDDING THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE DOES NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO (2) YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED (70 MPH) ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY FACILITY. IT HAS OCCURRED AT STOP LIGHTS. IN ONE INSTANCE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. LAST WEEK WAS NOTIFIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY WERE CONDUCTING A RECALL FOR THE EXACT REASON THAT HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE MALFUNCTION HAS CAUSED MECHANICAL DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE'S SUSPENSION, STEERING, TIRES, AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 35 MPH. THERE ARE ALSO RATTLING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
