EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: SINCE 2003, ON THREE OCCASIONS THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED- WHILE DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR ACCELERATED. ON THE FIST TWO OCCASIONS NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE CAR STOPPED ON HITTING THE CAR AHEAD. ON THE THIRD OCCASION,IN SEPTEMBER 2009, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND OTHERS. ON THIS LAST OCCASION I HAVE THE IMPRESSING THAT MY RIGHT FOOT WAS FIRMLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT THE ACCELERATOR.
