| Description of the problem | About 10 feet from my parking space, i prepared and aligned my eyes to pull forward into the space. Suddenly, my car accelerated and i jumped the curb, and crashed into my apartment building, without me being able to regain control of the car. Now i've been parking for many years, and i was not impaired in any way, shape or form. How fast must that car have accelerated to what mph? I'm terrified to drive the vehicle. I have noticed the whole time i had the car about a "lurching forward", be it a red light or in line at fast food line drive up. Once it starts lurching forward i'm worried im going crash into the car in front of me in line or at the red light.. Also, sometimes when the light turns green, i hit the gas and the car doesn't go anywhere. Then violently throws the car forward accelerates. *js |
