 Description of the problem i was parking the car (going about 5 mph ) at the food market , had coasted into the space and was using the brake ready to totally stop at the cement stop block.. Suddenly the motor sounded like a racecar and the car lurched forward and up over the cement stop block into the concrete wall /column where it stopped ! I was so fortunate to be in that parking space in front of the wall or i would have gone straight into the glass wall of the market !! Several people ran out of the market to help me out of the car. There was steam coming from under the hood and some liquid was draining under the front of the car.. Someone decided to call the fire dept.. Because they thought it was gasoline.. Someone else suggested that i turn off the motor because it was still running.. I could not shift the car so i could not get the key out. The gear shift was stuck and would not work . We decided to leave it alone until the tow truck arrived . I was really reluctant to do too much because it was on a slight slant and i thought it might start moving again. Noone else was in the car. The skin on my knee was scraped and my knee felt a little sore... No major injuries. Just very shaken!!. The car was towed to a repair shop and my insurance company will schedule an inspector for the repair order. I am in no hurry to get it back. I'm feeling very nervous about driving it again.... Affected parts? ( item on this form) i can see that the hood and the front bumper are damaged.. Fluid and steam came from somewhere under the hood so maybe the radiator or hoses are also damaged. I am not a mechanic and i don't have the report yet but something else is going on if the car makes a racing car noise and then moves forward quickly. The mileage is only 35,584.. A 2007 hyundai sonata.. I have pictures if you need them.
