We bought this car used in 2010 with 69,000. It was great for a minute and then...hoses, water pump, tensioners, a lot of tensioners, drive chain, sensor for some timing issue, thermostat, fuel pump, a bolt that sheared off the oil pan.

It is now…

To whom it may concern, on thursday, may 13, 2015, at approx. 2:00 p.m., I was breaking to make a right turn onto another road when I noticed my car kept accelerating when my foot wasn't on the gas pedal. (There are no floor mats in the car). My boyfriend was sitting in the passenger seat. I had never experienced this in my life! I kept my foot on the brake and each time I let off the brake, the speed accelerated w/o my doing it. My boyfriend put the car in (N) & told me to pull over in the grass off the shoulder. He then turned off the ignition. (It was a mix of grass & mud). I needed…
