| Description of the problem | On the morning of january 10th around 8am i had to take my pet to the veterinarian. I pulled into the entrance and was going to park my car in front of the building which has parking spaces right in front of the office. As i was pulling into a parking space with my foot on the brake almost at a complete stop when the car suddenly accelerated at a high rate of speed causing me to crash into a building. It happened in a split second and no time to respond. I never have experienced such power in this car as when this happened. For whatever reason, the vehicle just shot out like a bullet. No police report was filed due to no one was hurt or involved in the accident. |
