| Description of the problem | I was pulling into parking space in garage with my 2008 honda crv. Put brake on and heard loud revving sound of engine (like when a car peels out from a stop light). The brake did nothing and the car surged forward with the revving right into the concrete wall of the garage. It hit so hard it made my glasses fly off my face. It bounced off the concrete wall about 3-4 feet and stopped. My foot was on the brake the whole time. After the car stopped, there was a really bad smell of something burning. My airbag did not deploy, but the car impacted a little to the right of center. Fortunately, i had my seat belt on. The shoulder strap jammed from the impact and could not be loosened. After i turned the engine off, the dashboard lights remained on and the bad smell intensified. The car had to be towed, i was told it "was not drivable" by the honda dealer where it was towed. The dealer wouldn't even look at the car or go smell the odor as "it was not drivable and needed to have the body work done first." i was told they would smell for the odor after the body was fixed. |
