January 2002 CrashInjury

About two weeks before my car wouldn't go into drive I had it towed to the dealers. They fixed the problem it was a brake switch and solenoid. That needed replacing $300.00 later its fixed. During the weekend my cruise control light kept flashing. My mother, daughter and I were waiting for my son who was at track practice on monday 4-25-2011. We were waiting in the car and listening to the radio. I started my car to make sure it was going to start.
