As I prepared to slow to a stop in a relatives circular driveway, the engine began to rev up with a high pitched whine. I turned the wheel to avoid hitting a parked car in hopes of stopping the car but it continued to gain speed and ended up hitting a pickup in the same circular driveway. The brakes did not seem to function as the car picked up speed.

I bought the car on Oct 22nd, and on the second day it stalled because of wrong fuse being placed in the car. During that check up I found out that the car has had extensive body damage and none of this is shown up in carfax report and also the dealer told me that the car was never involved in any accident. So I want to return the car under consumer fraud.
