Late model Chrysler 200 veered off road and killed passenger. Road was dry. Weather was partly cloudy. Accident happened in mid afternoon driving south on i81. Problems with car started upon purchase. Dealership subsequently replaced engine. Some problems continued after engine replacement including intermittent issues with cruise control.
I was driving as usual in my neighborhood around 40 mph when car rpm started accelerating past 4 rpm when I was at 1rpm. I hit the brakes which didn't seem to work and pulled to the shoulder and put it in park. I started car again and drove 1 mile towards home. Luckily, I didn't travel far. When I started the car again it was accelerating while in park. I had 2 children and an infant in the car. I will never set foot in this car again! normally traffic is heavy, but I was lucky that I didn't hit anyone.
