Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	As i pulled up to park my car behind a parked car, my car surged and crashed into the back of the parked car. I was easing into the space at a very slow speed and actually had my foot on the brake. The motor suddenly revved up, i felt the surge, stood on the brake pedal, but was unable to control the car. Although damage was minimal, i was concerned about another occurrence driving the vehicle and had it towed into the dealership. The service advisor said they have never heard of an incident like this with the amanti. There are many reports of these unexplained acceleration incidents with the kia amanti online. Hopefully these people are reporting them to you. If this had happened while trying to stop at a crosswalk for pedestrians, someone would have been seriously injured. At the consumers request, the component was revised to speed control. 05/10/11
