The contact owns a 1996 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle experienced a sudden aggressive and forceful acceleration. The contact immediately depressed the brake pedal, but there was no response and the vehicle failed to slow down. The vehicle crashed into two parked vehicles. The ambulance and police were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The driver and the occupants in the parked vehicles were transported to the hospital and sustained moderate injuries. The cause of the failure and extent of the vehicle damage have not yet been determined. The mileages were unknown.
