NHTSA complaint: 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN STICKING AND BEGIN NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2010. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS THE CAR MAT GETTING IN THE WAY BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THIS LAST TIME ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 2,2011. I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AND HAD MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I HIT THE CEMENT CURB WHICH WAS TALLER THAN MOST. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES GETTING IT TO STOP BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED. IF THE CURB WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TALL THE CAR WOULD HAVE MORE AND LIKELY JUMPED IT AND RAN INTO BUILDING, BUT BECAUSE OF HEIGHT OF IT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I THEN GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE WHICH WAS LESS THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND NO AIR BAGS DISBURSED. *TR
