The purpose of this complaint is to inform you of a very frightening, near deadly experience I had while driving my chrysler lhs. On january 7, 2004, I was driving home from work when my gas pedal stuck as I was going up a hill. I tried to break but was unsuccessful. I then attempted to put the car in neutral and then low gear - still not stopping or slowing of the vehicle occurred. As I approached a 3-way intersection, I was frantically trying to stop or even slow the vehicle down. I went right through the intersection and missed hitting a pick up truck by inches. Once again, I attempted to put the car in neutral. This time the engine revved high and revved until it stopped. Smoke immediately filled the surrounding area, antifreeze, and oil leaked out of the vehicle. I called 911 and the fire department, police and tow truck arrived. In response to the questions below, although there was no fire, smoke filled the surrounding area. Although there was no accident, I missed a pick up truck by inches. 911 was notified and the police, fire department and tow truck arrived.
