“Problem #1 on 31 march 1999, I visited my grandson in centerville, va. I drove my truck there and experienced no problems. When I left to go home, I started the truck, placed the shifter in reverse and let it roll backwards down his sloped driveway, braking when I got on the street. I placed the shifter in drive and stepped on the accelerator but the vehicle did not respond. It crawled forward down the street. I pumped the accelerator and got no response. I stopped the truck, placed the shifter in park, got out, and through the open door applied pressure to the accelerator with my hand. …”
