general problems of the 1996 Dodge Caravan

While turning into a parking space I touched break and the van accelerated to full throttle. The van jumped the curb and was heading toward 3 people, I turned the steering wheel enough to hit a light pole instead of them. The van quit racing for a few seconds and then revved up again. The light pole fell and I was again headed toward the people. I put both feet on the break and was able to stop the van, but not before hitting the people. Luckily they were just bruised because I just bumped them and didn't run over them. This all happened in a matter of seconds. I almost killed some people and no longer have transportation because the van was totaled.

Consumer was traveling about 70mph on highway and vehicle started picking speed and landed in a ditch. Driver had to turn vehicle off. Brakes burned up and vehicle had to be towed. Nothing was being done, and consumer will talk with a lawyer.
