| Description of the problem | I was backing out of my driveway and the car would not stop although i was pressing the brake. The car crossed the street behind my house and finally crashed into a group of trees. I think that the throttle got stuck, but i'm not sure why it happened. The car was totaled and ended up being taken to the junk yard. |
