My parents picked my daughter up from the school bus and proceeded down my driveway slowly. The vehicle suddenly accelerated even as my father had both feet on the brake. There were visible signs of the front wheels dragging up debris as the front wheels were locking up. He attempted to shift into neutral and turn the key but was unable to do so as the vehicle must have reached a speed in excess of 50 mph before he slammed it into park and then ran head on into a tree. Both parent were injured severely even with the air bags deploying. The car was destroyed.
1999 Ford Crown Victoria blew out original spark plug and a fire was ignited as the fuel vapor was ignited by the coil pack.
Engine on my car just stopped working and when towed to facility the mechanic informed me the engine was gone. Warranty people came to look at the vehicle and stated I used bad gasbecause carbon had built up on the rings and would not honor warranty. All fluids were clear and car has been properly maintained.
