1 Accelerator Pedal problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2003

I have had nothing but problems with my sun roof, brakes, gas, acceleration and over heating of my car. My sun roof about every other month something goes wrong with it every time I open it. My breaks have been replaced about 4 or 5 times because the wear out quick. When I break my tiers skip the car stops but the tiers keep turning. My gas is gone quick and I only drive here in town from work to home to daycare. Sometimes when I turn my car on the speedometer moves by its self as if I were pushing the gas peddle and my foots on the break when it does it by its self and it does it when I'm driving. I can drive a block and my car gets really hot and the fan is on right away. I can't stand my care anymore its nothing but problems for a while.
