CrashFiled: Aug 2003

When you shifted your vehicle into reverse, it suddenly accelerated on its own and hit another vehicle. Your dealer found that the throttle pedal was stuck, causing the engine to rev without you pressing the pedal. The fix will likely involve replacing or repairing the throttle pedal assembly and related components.
