3 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2003

I have had a horrifying experience in this car. The accelerator has stuck and speed fastly exceeded. This time which I may add is the last time because I returned the vehicle to where I purchased it , I almost went underneath an 18 wheeler in steady traffic. My daughter was with me on this occasion. I will not risk her life or the lives of others including myself. I am concerned the dealer will ruin my credit but I have been seeking council and have many offers to take the case. There have been a number of other things like the air bag light, brakes have failed on separate occasions.
