While driving, the vehicle immediately went into full unintended acceleration without any input from the accelerator pedal. I removed my foot completely from the pedal, but engine RPM increased to full 7000 rpmâs and the throttle was stuck there. The vehicle surged forward unexpectedly.

This created safety concerns for my [XXX] old and and we had to take him to the ER for his head injury. The
