Reported at 72,000 miles, April 2010 CrashFireInjury

While driving the car at about 40 MPH on the road, it suddenly accelerated . I applied the brake and the car kept going at the accelerated speed for about 3/4 mile. It finally slowed enough for me to turn off the road into a housing complex. I then was able to put it in park. The car kept idling at the same rate even while in park position. Smoke started coming from under the hood; therefore, I got out and within 1 minute, it went up in flames. The police & fire truck came and put out the flames.
