Pontiac Gto Power Train Safety Report | May 06, 2005
Reported on May 06, 2005
| I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR TO TURN RIGHT ON RED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT APPEARED THAT CROSS TRAFFIC WAS BEGINING TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP. I PULLED OUT ONLY TO REALIZE I HAD MADE A GRAVE ERROR IN JUDGEMENT AND THAT THE CROSS TRAFFIC WAS STILL COMING. IN A MOMENT OF PANIC I HIT THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO GET LITTLE RESPONSE AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. THE CAR DID NOT DOWN SHIFT NOR ACCELERATE PROPERLY CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. | |
