2 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2010

As I backed the car from a parking space and started forward and I experienced a sudden acceleration. I was lucky that there was no car in front of me and I was able to reach the parking lot exit safely. I turned left for several hundred yards and reached a traffic signal, I was able to immediately turn left. I proceeded south and entered the left turn lane at route 104 and was the first car at the traffic light waiting for traffic already across the intersection waiting to turn left onto route 104. The car across the intersection began to move and I stepped on the accelerator and the car shot across the intersection at full speed instantly and I was driven into the car in front. There was no chance to stop the car. The steering wheel airbag deployed and cut both my wrists when they held the steering wheel. The engine continued to race until I turned off the ignition. A police officer arrived shortly asked one or two questions and suggested I remain in the car. Medics from a private ambulance service who had been in the evening traffic immediately stopped and I opened my front door windows and spoke to them (a man and woman emt). They applied bandage pads to airbag cuts on both wrists through the open windows. I remained in the car and indicated I did not need hospitalization. The driver of the other car immediately got out of his CA.
