problem #1

Mar 011999

Durango 4WD

  • miles
Vehicle accelerated uncontrollably after the vehicle was backed out of a parking space and placed into drive. The vehicle's engine raced and the accelerator suddenly took off when touched taking the vehicle and driver 10 feet into a brick wall. The vehicle was uncontrollable and we suspect a defect in the accelerator, engine's fuel injection and computer. This accident would have been a fatality without the use of safety belts and air bags! please help me make sure this doesn't happen to others!
