| Description of the problem | Pulled into parking space in a parking lot very slowly. Vehicle was almost parked. Steering wheel was turned to the left. Vehicle suddenly accelerated, continued to rev and would not stop right away with multiple applications of the brake. It rode up onto a cement handicap ramp and its railing at the head of the space . Not injured, no airbag deployment, car sustained damage to front and undercarriage. Vehicle had less than 1200 miles on it. No one i told was convinced that i didn't step on the gas and assumed that my foot must have slipped off the brake and onto the gas pedal. I was ready to believe it myself and owned that it must have been completely my fault. After stumbling (and i mean stumbling-wasn't looking for anything like this) across reviews and comments that describe exactly what happened to me, i feel vindicated. |
