What owners wrote
I was driving on the highway in rush hour traffic when the car suddenly accelerated and side swiped a school bus. The car went out of control and was unable to be stopped, crashing into a concrete media on the left side of the highway before spinning across three lanes of traffic and crashing into the concrete barrier on the right side of the highway and finally stopping. The car was totaled - the entire frame was twisted, all four tires were destroyed, the bumper was hanging off.
Vehicle accelerated suddenly, unintentionally, and disproportionately to throttle position, resulting in a head-on crash into a wooden fence. Vehicle and fence were both damaged.
