VEHICLE ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MJS

Aug 25, 1999

I HAD MY CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL, SET AT 70MPH, AND I WAS CRESTING A HILL WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER. I TOOK IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL BUT IT WOULD NOT RUN. IT WOULD SURGE THEN SLOW DOWN. IT SEEMED TO HAVE VAPOR LOCKED. I HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS WITH OTHER CARS BECAUSE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER WITH MY FLASHERS ON UNTIL I COULD GET TO A GAS STATION. I SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 2 HOURS AND IT WAS OK. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES , I HAVE HAD MANY REPAIRS ON IT AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED.
