“I was driving on a local country road at about 15-20 MPH (having just come out of a sharp turn). When I stepped on the accelerator after the turn, it suddenly began to gun , at which point I stepped on the brake and to my horror got no response. I kept my foot on the brake, but the accelerator continued to rev or gun horrifyingly and the car continued to speed up. At another sharp turn I went off the road and sideswiped a tree, drove through the bedroom of a house (in one wall and out the other) and finally stopped in another tree. …”
