| Description of the problem | I was going to park in my parking spot and the car just accelerated and jumped a granite curb and struck a 4 in pole in the ground. The car kept hitting the pole almost driving up it. The car wouldn't stop even after i pressed on the brake, finally i couldn't stop it until i placed both feet on the brake pedal and pressed as hard as i could. It was frightening, when i called the garage they wanted me to drive it up to the shop, i couldn't i was afraid it would accelerate. I explained what happened to the dealership collision guy and he said he had never hear of such a thing. I told him i had looked on the website and found quite a few reports. They said they would look at the vehicle. Right. |
