1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2002

I am a 57 year old registerd nurse. I went to work at saint elizabeths hospital in brighton. I stopped at the parking garage entrance to get a parking ticket. When the arm went and I be gan to pull in to the garage the gas pedal went right to the floor the engine began to race uncontrolably . I had both feet pressed firmly on the brake pedal trying to stop the car. It raced forward with the wheels screeching on the garage floor, I was terrified. The car hit a parked car with such force that it spun the car 180 degrees around. All during this time 5 to 10 seconds and about 100 feet the engine was racing as if the gas pedal was floored. Both my feet were firmly on the brake pedal trying to stop the car. I hope someone takes this complaint seriously and makes the dealer fix this car before I or someone else gets killed. I am terrified that this may happen again, and I am thouroughly upset that this is not being taken seriously. I see from your board that I am not the only person that has had this problem. Ts.
