I sounded the horn loudly to warn people. But the car kept going and going. I am a single mom, and my child was with me... For safety of life and property... I intentionally drove into a ditch. I felt like it was an unintentional acceleration and loss of brake effectiveness issue. I have called nissan consumer affairs to report it, and my car is now at the dealership . I am not an expert.
