I was driving to pick up my kids on January 30, 2007 I was approaching a 3 way stop traveling South bound on the side street that runs along March air force base in moreno valley, California and all the sudden I could not stop I was trying to hold my brakes down as hard as I could but they are antilock brakes and I slammed into the back of a Honda Accord my car didn't stop there I hit my forehead on the steering wheel and I blacked out when I came to my car was idling wanting to still go and so I tried to put it in park and it scared me so I turned my car off I didn't know what was wrong with it I asked the people I hit to call the cops I didn't have a phone they just wanted to exchange driver info and leave I was upset I turned my car on and drove to the nearest phone putting it in neutral everytime I came to a stop my car is automatic. My dad came and pulled me home. My dad is an automotive tech and he looked at my car in the morning he came and woke me up and told me the cause of my gas pedal getting stuck was that my throttle cable for the gas just snapped and that GM made a faulty design for the gas cable it sucked and caused my cable to slice and snap I could have lost my life I was on the freeway 10 minutes before the accident..im shocked that I could have died.!! the night that this happened I was so upset that I cried myself to sleep and im 28 years old so you can see how traumatizing this was for me. I also forgot to include that on impact my air bag did not even open to prevent me from slamming into my steering wheel it hurt all the whole next day.
