Mountaineer

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles
The contact rented a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. While making a left turn at approximately 5-10 mph, the contact applied too much pressure to the accelerator pedal and the vehicle sped forward. The contact applied the brakes and the emergency brake, but the vehicle did not decelerate or stop. The vehicle crashed into four parked vehicles. Both passengers were transported to the hospital, but only the front passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered bruises and soreness. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The VIN, powertrain, engine size, purchase date, and number of cylinders were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 6,000.
