| Description of the problem | I was in my car i had just pulled into the driveway which is on an incline, my car was in drive my foot was on the brake when your foot comes off of the break and you are in drive my car will roll backwards it is designed that way. On this particular day my car rolled forward i noticed it was rolling forward and i put the car in park as i put the car in park and was stepping on the brake the car made a high pitched noise and then the rpms revved up and up and the car accelerated forward as if i was pushing on the gas and in drive. The car would not let me get it out of park and it kept going forward accelerating into the house and garage over and over. I had to slam the gear shift and hit it over and over from park down into reverse which finally happened and then i was able to go backwards and stop hitting the garage. I turn the car off put the emergency brake on and got out of the car to see the damage. Pictures are below i have seen other forums and complaints that this vehicle year and make have done this on numerous occasions. If my little girls were in the car and this happened at a intersection, we would have been thrown into ongoing traffic seriously injured if not killed!! This is a known vehicle failure which has not been taken care of with proper recall precautions. This is a dangerous and life-threatening problem. My life matters and so do my childrens. Failure to act is murder. |
