| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On april 27, 2006 my dad started the engine to go to church and the car accelerated in parking position. car was turned off and started again, once started it drove fine. the same day when my dad was coming from church he started the car and when he put it in drive the car accelerated itself and itt bolted out and went over a pile of sand that was on the side on the road. the car flipped and stopped against the fence of a house. the air bags did not deploy. my dad was taken to the hospital and the car was a total loss. he was lucky to have his seat belt on. i've reviewed other complaints and it seems to me that this has happened too many times to just be a random defect. i hope this accident is investigated to avoid unnecessary deaths due to this problem. *jb |
