| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Had right foot on brake while pulling my car into gear from park. suddenly without warning my car accelerated on its own without my having depressed the accelerator. my car took off with a loud screech of tires. my right foot remained on the brakes the entire time as i desperately tried to stop my run away car. no matter how hard i tried to depress the brakes, they did not respond, or even slow my car down. a lady at the doctor's office where we were said that my car sounded like a jet engine taking off. my car jumped a curbing, climbed an embankment planted with shubbery and finally centered a pine tree which stopped the forward progress of my car. my daughter-in-law who was riding in the back seat with her eight month old son hit her head hard on the window. the car dealership and chrysler motors corporation said they found no problem with my car, and that this car is safe to drive. they refused to pay for damages or try to find a hidden malfunction in my car. *ak |
