Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car accelerated without driver input on two separate occasions . the last event resulted in smashing through a plate glass window of a travel agency, injuring one employee. the car ended up totally in the agency, halted by an interior wall. the police reported skid marks on the sidewalk in front of the agency, as well as within the agency as i attempted to brake the car. there is also evidence that the right front tire was rotating very rapidly, so much so that when the car stopped the tire burned a hole in the carpet. carpet threads are embedded in the right front wheel tire. on the one hand, the marks on the carpet and sidewalk indicate that skid marks were made by all three wheels, while the right front wheel obviously was burning rubber. *jb updated 03/01/06
