Description of the problem | The vehicle accelerated on its own. Depressing both the brake and the emergency brake did not stop the vehicle. Putting the car in neutral made the car start smoking excessively while still moving. After hitting one vehicle due to being unable to stop at a traffic light, i was only able to stop the car by running it head on into a concrete pylon. One of the most terrifying days of my life. Completely unexpected and i was so unprepared to handle these events. Thankful to god today there was no loss of life, only property. Absolutely terrifying. |
