| My daughter was traveling north at 40 mph, and she turned around briefly to check if her little brother was buckled in his seat belt. when she turn back around the car was on the curve and she slammed on the brakes as hard as she could to stop the car, but the car wouldn't stop and preceded to accelerate. she went through partially two brick walls, knocked down a stop and street sign, and the car flipped a couple of times. the car ended up landing on the passenger side, leaving the car left side up. my daughter suffered injuries to the neck, back, and her knees were cut from the glass of the window in a result of the car crashing. luckily, my son suffered no injuries. i am very concerned, why did the brakes fail in my daughter's attempt to stop the vehicle. *tr | |||

| Pushed the accelerator, no response from the engine. engine would spontaneously rev- without accelerator being touched. after a 2 hour rest period the car was again driven the same problem occurred. the rpm would rev without the accelerator being pushed, after about 50 feet the engine check light came on. the gas pedal would sometimes engage the engine so we were able to travel a short distance. it was unpredictable as to when the accelerator would work. it would sometimes kick in while the rpm's were reving and the car would jerk forward. i felt it was unsafe to drive. as we were shutting the car off to load it on the tow truck when thecar was shut off, and the keys were still in the ignition, the automatic door locks repeatedly went off- in a rapid motion about 20 times until the keys were removed. the car has been towed to a local dealer. *ak | |||
