Pontiac Grand Prix Vehicle Speed Control Accelerator Pedal Safety Report | Jan 23, 2001
Reported on Jan 23, 2001
| MY CAR ACCELERATOR STUCK ON ME THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE NEXT THINK I KNEW WAS UP ON A SNOW BANK, THEN WHEN I PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND WAS PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE TO COME OFF SNOWBANK, BEFORE I COULD EVEN GO NEAR THE GAS PEDAL, IT FLEW BACKWARDS ABOUT 100 FEET INTO A FENCE, AND WOULD ONLY STOP WHEN I FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF THE KEY TO TURN IT OFF. WHEW!! COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. TOOK IT TO THE PONTIAC DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND CHARGED ME A 75.00 INSPECTION FEE. COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND KNEW IT WASNT ME, BECAUSE I WAS NEVER EVEN NEAR THE GAS WHEN IT HAPPENED.*AK | |
