Description of the problem | I was driving on i-64 westbound in the far left hov lane in newport news, virginia around 4:30 p. M. On august 2 during rush hour when my 2010 ford escape, which was on cruise control set at 60 mph, suddenly stopped accelerating. I pressed the pedal and it continued to decelerate and started to shake. I put on my emergency flashers. My husband and i almost got hit numerous times by cars traveling at speeds of up to 65 miles per hour, as i was forced to cross four lanes of speeding traffic to reach the right shoulder. I feared that had my car stopped before reaching the shoulder, another car would have easily slammed into the rear of my vehicle, causing major bodily harm or death. After numerous near-collisions, i made it safely to the right shoulder. At that point, my heart was racing and my hands were trembling. My husband and i could have been killed!!! My car is now sitting at the ford dealership with no estimated time of repair. I depend upon my automobile for transportation to and from work, as well as other places. Please help me. |
