| Description of the problem | We had a 2009 mks which accelerated by it self on april 21, 2014 and caused my wife to hit a tree and spend three days in the hospital and also totaled out our car. Not knowing that there was a problem with the car, we brought a 2010 mks on may 7, 2010 and on may 8, 2014 when my wife pulled into our driveway, that car also had an unintended acceleration opposite causing it to surge at a high speed running through our garage door and the corner of our house. I then looked on the internet and discovered that there were several class action law suits in about 14 states dealing with the same problem, of unintended acceleration dealing with the electronic throttles causing this dangerous situation. To our surprise both of the cars we brought the 2009 and 2010 mks was on this list for this scary and frightening problem. Now how you we get this defect corrected, so we can drive the car safely? Is there an tsb repair bulletin sent to the dealers for this repair? Please someone help. Thanks |
