I START DRIVING VERY SLOW OUT OF PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATE BY ITSELF, REACHING HIGH SPEED WITHIN SECONDS, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL,FOOT PEDAL OR EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT SEEMS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK. MY FOOT WAS NOT IN THE ACCELERATOR BUT CAR CONTINUE INCREASING SPEED. I HAVE NO CHOICE TO COLLIDE AGAINST ANOTHER PARKED CAR AND HITTING A WALL WHERE FINALLY THE CAR STOP. EVEN WHEN THE CAR GOT TO STOP AGAINST THE WALL, THE ENGINE CONTINUE RUNNING ACCELERATED UNTIL I FINALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

MY CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS AS COULD BE SEEN. I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT AT 72,000 MILES. I STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. I SAW BLACK SMOKE AND THOUGHT I WAS OVERHEATING BUT THERE WHEN I LOOKED IT WAS NOT. I WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR.
