1 Speed Control Springs problem

Failure Date: 06/30/1999

This is the second time this car was involved in an accident involving sudden uncommanded acceleration. Vehicle was stopped awaiting opening of automatic garage door when throttle fully engaged driving car into garage door. An identical occurrance happened in spring of 1998 when car was stopped at traffic light and sudden acceleration sent car into vehicles in front of it. At the time dealer could find no defect. There was a different driver during each incident. Further, my son owns an identical vehicle which had a similar problem however, his malfunction did not result in any vehicle damage as car was in a parking lot and came to rest on a lawn.
