2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2011

As I was driving along the road, two miles from my house in a residential area. The car suddenly and drastically began to accelerate. I remember vividly pressing the brake pedal multiple times but it failed to decelerate the car at all. Afraid as I was, I ceased to step on the brake or the gas pedal, the car continued accelerating and kept gaining momentum. At that point, I was trying to avoid hitting the cars in front and incoming cars from the other direction of the road. I drove for about a half mile on and off the right side curbside, as clipping mailboxes along the way. At that point I realized that I would not be able to stop, decelerate, nor control the car. In attempt the avoid driving into the main road that led into a busy four-way intersection, I panicked and removed my seat belt in attempt to evacuate the car. The car door, however would not open. I was in complete shock and alarmed as the car continued to accelerate and as it drove into a head-on collision with a tree. Following the severe impact, I entirely lost consciousness. Following the accident I spent 10 hours in the operation room, and I had to stay for care in the hospital and skill facility for two and half months. From the accident my arm was injured and after 8 months, and it still immobile. I'm still going through series of physical therapy on a weekly basis. Updated ivoq 09/14/11.
