My name is [xxx]. I have a 1996 Sebring convertible I pulled into a filling station and shut the car off. When I started it, it revved up and accelerated on it's own. I pressed the brakes as hard as I could but couldn't stop the car. I went through the doors of the station and finally came to a stop in the coffee machines. I was taken to the hospital. I was in Florida at the time and I received a ticket for careless driving. The police officer said no matter what you have to have control of your car. There was no way to have control over the car. I had only owned this car 5 months. It shows that the car was in for a recall in Aug of 2002 for throttle repair. On March 17 in savannah ga the same thing happened to a 1996 Sebring convertible and he hit 9 people. I have talked to the gentleman. His sebring revved up, accelerated and he couldn't get it stopped. His had also been in for recall in 2002. My car is still in the dealer ship in Florida and is being repaired for the damages caused in the accident. I don't think I could ever drive this car again in fear that it will do it again and maybe cause a injury or death.
