What owners wrote

I was driving on a 4 lane road with a median (not highway). I was in the left lane passing 2 other vehicles when my explorer began to accelerate and would not stop. The road was wet and as I began stomping on and off the gas pedal to try and release the accelerator, the vehicle began to hydro plane. I went across the right lane and hit the curb, which pretty much ripped out the front undercarriage of the vehicle.
