problem #1

Nitro V6

I read on here at least two other people had this problem. Coming home from store, all of a sudden suv has a mind of its own. It was like I wasn't even driving it. When I started suv sounded very loud, put it in park sounded ok, but going down the road without my foot on the gas it kept accelerating. Not sure how fast it would of went up to. I could put on the brake to slow it down, but had to press very hard and in fact used both feet. I just wanted to get it home, I didn't live to far away. I was so afraid I was going to hit another car or person. When I pulled up into my driveway, I couldn't get it stopped in time and I crashed into my garage door. Luckily myself and my mother were not injured but front of suv has a dent and all scratched up and garage door is totaled. It was very scary but could of turned out much worse. I wanted to see if there was anyone out there with this problem and/or any lawsuits had been filed on this problem.
