WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE PAVED ROAD ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHILE ENGAGING A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SPED UP OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT ON STOPPING THE CAR. SO I STEERED AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AHEAD AND WENT INTO AN OPEN FIELD. THE CAR GOT UP TO AROUND 50 MPH, AND 60 YARDS OUT I HIT A 10 FOOT WIDE TRENCH BY 2 FOOT DEEP. THE FRONT END HIT THE OTHER SIDE AND THE AIRBAG WENT OFF. THE BRAKES FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR ABOUT 30 YARDS FROM THE TRENCH. THE DECORATIVE FRONT END AND THE BACK END WAS TORE OFF ALONG WITH MISCELLANEOUS BRACKETS.

MY CAR TAKES ABOUT 2 MINS TO START. THE GAS ACCELERATION GOES FROM NORMAL TO SLOW WHEN I'M DRIVING. I GO INTO REVERSE AND MY CAR STALLS AND JERKS REALLY HARD. WHEN I'M AT A STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN MY CAR WILL ACT LIKE IT'S LOSING POWER AND THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON THEN DISAPPEAR DAYS LATER WITH NEW LIGHTS ON SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE DOORS OPEN ECT. THERE ARE TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN LIKE I HIT MY BREAKS. WHEN I WAS BACKING UP GOING IN REVERSE THE CAR JERKED AND I HIT SOMEONE HOWEVER IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE AFTER I HAD IT IN REVERSE FROM BACKING UP I BACKED UP AGAIN THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITHIN THE CAR ITSELF. I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE CAR HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT IT AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE IT'S BEENIN MY POSSESSION.
