My 2001 Mercury Sable accelerated as I entered the highway. The car would not stop even when I applied the brake. I called 911. The 911 operator suggested that I apply the parking brake which I did. I went about 15 miles riding the shoulder going between 60-70 miles per hour. I eventually exited the highway but could not stop even at the end of the exit ramp. I made a right hand turn. At this point I had reduced my speed to approximately 30 miles per hour. The car eventually landed in a ditch. At that point, I ended my call with 911. I looked to my left and found four men yelling to me to get out of the car. I then learned that the car was on fire. I exited the car. The four men put the fire out with a fire extinguisher. The car was towed to a Mercury dealership where it is documented that it was in fact the speed control cable that caused the car to accelerate. Again, between the 911 call, the information on file with the Mercury dealer and the insurance claim, the cause of the incident is documented.

My car started loosing brake power 3 days ago and due to that I ended up hitting a tree broke my tail light dented my car on both passangers doors. Had the brakes bleed thought maybe air in lines nothing thats when I found out what was wrong with it. Now I have a car no working my fiance cant get to work and a car with dents of the two doors another one at the rear and a missing head light. Plus I have a back injury with two buldging disk that hitting the tree aggrivated it and hurt my ribs.

While driving down a hill at 30 mph an upon approaching an intersection brake pedal was depressed to slow down and to make a left turn, and brake pedal went to the floor, which resulted in the vehicle going through the intersection. Vehicle stopped when it collided with a tree. Consumer sustained bruises to chest from the seat belt. Prior to the accident vehicle has 2 brake recalls performed by a dealership.
