On the date mentioned, I was driving at about 45mph when the accelerator cable failed and caused the vehicle to accelerate out of control. The vehicle raced to about 60 mph even while I used the brakes to attempt to slow down. After a few minutes I knew I had to put the car in neutral and shut it off to stop the car.in the meantime I had to avoid other cars and stoplights as I couldn't stop. The short use of my brakes caused a fire and I put out with an extinguisher. Fire dept. Was called. No warranty, my big bill. I feel it was a part defect as the mechanic said he had never replace on in all his years. Please respond to this questionnaire. Thank you.

The defective braking system warped out several times. Had replaced the braking system 4 times. Had a 1996 Sebring had the same problem, had to replace braking system 6 times. Dealer said the 1997 Sebring had a new braking system, but the problem is still occurring. Dealer cannot determine problem.
