Narrative

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE DECEMBER 2003 THAT THE ACCELERATOR STUCK WHILE IN REVERSE AND THE BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND INJURIES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I THANK GOD THAT NO LITTLE KIDS WERE KILLED!!! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE.*AK
