NHTSA complaint: UNKNOWN UNKNOWN1 — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF FROM A COASTING POSITION, ENTERING AN ONRAMP TO FREEWAY. ENGINE ROARED, FULL THROTTLE, APPLIED BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET, CAR CONTINUED TO INCREASE SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, AIRBAG DEPLOYED, ENGINE STILL REVVING. WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL KEY TURNED OFF. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE REPAIR RECORDS OF SUCH. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON FOR MONTHES AND DEALER/SERVICE REPAIR FINALLY TOLD ME TO IGNORE IT JUST PRIOR TO ACCIDENT. NO PRODUCT DEFECT HAS BEEN FOUND. INSURANCE COMPANY IS HAVING IT REPAIRED. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID OF IT. WHAT CAN I DO???*AK
