Recall 96V05700, manufacturer's recall 96-C-26; vehicle would not crank after dealer had just repaired car. Jump started the car, engine started racing as fast as it could go, sparks came out from under the hood, tapping on the gas to get the engine to stop racing, pressed on the brakes and the car kept going. Slammed into park, driver was injured in incident. Opened the hood and white smoke appeared. Dealer contacted, and will not respond to calls. Stated they cannot find a problem.
