| Description of the problem | Cruise control switch was on but not engaged. I pulled up to back into parking space, and with my foot on the brake pedal, the truck lunged forward into parked cars. The truck stopped, i put my foot back on the brake pedal, looking to make sure i was only on the brake pedal, and the truck lunged forward again into parked car. I took my foot off of brake pedal, put the shifter in reverse, and the truck took off at high speed in reverse, clipped a fire hydrant, and stopped about 100 feet away, backing into an earthen bank. All of this occurred in the parking lot at my place of work. |
