I was involved in a fender bender on December 1st due to a defective electronic throttle body motor in my 2010 Ford Fusion. The vehicle accelerated on its own when my foot came off the brake pedal, causing damage to both my vehicle and the one in front of me. My vehicle had just been in for a recall on airbags two months ago, and the airbags did not deploy during the accident. There was also a recall for the electronic throttle body motor at the time of the incident. I'm wondering what my rights are, what I can do, and whether I need to approach this on my own or with an attorney. I want my car fixed, and I'm in Portland, Oregon. What steps should I take?
