Reported on Jan 24, 2014
| I HAD BEGUN TO ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT. THE CAR IN FRONT BEGAN TO STOP AGAIN. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD NOT GO DOWN, WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR AT ALL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND I HIT A VAN. THE AIRBAG WENT OFF, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED UP, AND THE CAR SHOT FORWARD AGAIN, HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE AGAIN. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PARK. NOTHING STOPPED IT UNTIL I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF COMPLETELY. I HAVE THE 'NORM' SEATBELT BRUISING, SMASHED MY KNEE ON THE DASH, AND HAVE WHIPLASH AS WELL. | |
