| Description of the problem | Dt: the contact was traveling on a very busy street at a low speed. He was directly behind a delivery truck. He was constantly braking and then moving slowly, the contact's foot was never on the accelerator pedal. The engine suddenly accelerated without warning and the contact hit the back of the truck at about 3 mph. The brakes were applied, but the vehicle failed to stop before hitting the truck. The front of the vehicle sustained heavy cosmetic damage and the hood was damaged as well. No police report was taken at the scene. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was seen by the service dealer for diagnostic testing, and the results were negative. Therefore, no repairs were made. The primary concern of the contact was that he saw a similar complaint filed by another vehicle owner online. *ak |
