| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Accelerator pedal or the transmission. i was backing up and the car revved really high and crashed me into a pole. i then tried to pull forwards and the car revved again and lunged forward, smashing into 2 cars. i did not even have my foot on the gas at the time. i had my foot on the brake and the only way that i could make the car stop was to put it in park. i had no damage to my own car but did cause quite a bit to the other cars. i had a friend who is a mechanic look at my car and he seems to think there is something wrong with the transmission. i only bought the car 7 months ago at a dealer and the transmission fluid is already dark brown. i'm not sure why this would be, i have had 3 oil changes on my car since i bought it and i've only put 9000 miles on it since i bought it 7 months ago. there should not be that kind of wear on the tranny after that little of use. i know that i did not accelerate so if the car is doing it on its own, i really don't want this to happen again.*ak |
