ON 9-18-04 DARRELL BALDWIN, DENICE BALDWIN AND DEVIN THEISEN WERE IN 2004 EXPEDITION SITTING IN DRIVEWAY PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR A SOCCER GAME. DARRELL PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE FIRMLY APPLIED. THE CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELERATED AT HIGH RATE UNTIL THE BRAKES QUIT AND SHOT US INTO OUR OTHER VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WE VEERED RIGHT TRYING TO MISS THE TRUCK BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR CONTINUED ACROSS OUR YARD HEADING TOWARD OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. DURING THIS TIME THE BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE PATH LEFT SKID MARKS DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET AND FINALLY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF OUR NEIGHBOR. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. USUALLY THERE ARE CHILDREN OUT PLAYING AND HAD THIS OCCURRED WHEN CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATION! THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED. FORD HAS TAKEN POSSESSION OF VEHICLE FOR INVESTIGATION.*AK
