Description of the problem | I was parking in a parking garage and had to make a right turn into a space with cars on both sides. When i normally park, my foot is over the brake and i tap the brake as i go in. In this case, as soon as i began turning right, my car took off like a shot. It felt like a car being floored. I barely missed one of the cars and slammed into a concrete wall, making a 4 x 6 hole in the wall and setting off the air bag in the steering wheel. The car was smoking and i immediately shut it off so there would be no fire. |
