| Description of the problem | Was parked in a parking lot of a drug store for maybe 10 minutes. Started the car and backed out of parking space. When i put the car in drive to go forward the car accelerated to a very high speed and ran into two parked cars. With help i tried to back out of the space but when i went forward the car once again accelerated to a high speed damaging my car and the two other cars. Several years back i pulled into a parking lot to mail a letter. When i put the car in reverse to back out of the parking lot, the car accelerated at a high speed and backed into a snow bank. I thought at the time that i had accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the break but read the exact same experience from a hyundai owner. |
