| Description of the problem | I was parking at a restaurant in an angled parking space near a concrete platform where dumpsters are kept. Half way into the space, while i was applying the brake, my car surged forward very fast and slammed into the concrete platform. I had the brake pedal to the floor but the car never stopped. I was wearing my seat belt and was not injured but there was almost $7,000 worth of damage to my car. My car was repaired, but i am under contract of a lease with this car and have to continue to drive it. I am so afraid that this will happen again that i will never allow family or friends to ride in this car. |
