I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL WAS HIT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN EITHER CAR. IMMEDIATELY UPON THE COLLISION, I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR, BUT IT ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I MADE A SPLIT DECISION TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN CONTEMPLATED DRIVING THE CAR INTO A TREE TO STOP IT. I THEN DECIDED TO DRIVE OVER A CURBED DIVIDER THAT HAD A 3 FOOT HEDGE. I GOT THE CAR TO STOP 8 FEET AFTER RUNNING OVER THE HEDGE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, BUT DID HAVE A CLEAR THOUGHT PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I OPTED TO RUN OVER A 3 FOOT BOX HEDGE INSTEAD OF INTO A TREE. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THE CAR ACCELERATED THE WAY IT DID. THE CAR IS NOW CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOSS".

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
