SUDDENLY THE THROTTLE OPENED UP AND THE CAR SHOT OFF LIKE A ROCKET OVER THE CURBING THROUGH SOME BUSHES AND INTO A POND MAYBE 15 FEET AWAY THE CAR WAS MOVING SO FAST THAT AS IT WAS SINKING IT MOVED OUT ABOUT 20 FEET. IT WAS COMPLETELY SUBMERGED AND I WAS LUCKY TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT AND CLIMB OUT THE OPEN WINDOW AND SWIM TO SHORE THE ONLY INJURY A SPRAINED ANKLE. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AMAZINGLY I WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR WRECKLESS DRIVING THAT WAS DISMISSED AS THERE WERE NO WITNESSES THE POLICE AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY INSISTED THAT CARS DON'T SURGE LIKE THAT ON THEIR OWN WE KNOW BETTER I WAS TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL INSTEAD OF SYMPATHIZED WITH FOR ALMOST DROWNING. IT WAS NOT THE MAT OR A STICKY ACCELERATOR BUT I FEEL AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DUE TO MOISTURE THAT MADE THE THROTTLE OPEN UP THE THING WAS ALSO THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK!
