Narrative

MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND WHEN SHE HIT HER BRAKES THE CAR TOOK OFF JUST LIKE BEEN REPORTED WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND WITNESS EVEN SAW HER BRAKE LIGHTS ON AND THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING VERY HIGH LIKE THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. THIS CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL AND THE PEDAL AND FLOOR MATS WERE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THERE STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. NOW WE HAVE TO FIX THE DAMAGE TO OUR CAR AND THEN ONE SHE HIT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WHY CARS ARE STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE SOMEONE COULD OF DIED BECAUSE OF THIS FLAW IN THE CAR.
