“I am a single mom with an autistic son, and two other children. I used to work for mitchell Volvo in simsbury, ct and just purchased my 2015.5 Volvo V60 in december and only have 10k miles on it. I drive, literally, three miles per day, except for my first incident: in early july 2016, I drove to rochester, ny for a funeral for my uncle. Upon pulling out into rt 495, I hit the gas, and nothing. I had my autistic son and 87 year old father in the car, I panicked as cars were coming, and car wasn't moving, I slammed on the gas, and the car banged into gear and went. …”
