Description of the problem | I was turning slowly into a parking space between two parked cars with my foot on the brake. Approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the way into the space the car suddenly accelerated (my foot still on the brake). It jumped the curb, crossed over the sidewalk, "took out" 2 pilings and large flower box and then stopped. Engine was still running. It happened in a matter of seconds and i had no time to react in any way. Car had to be winched off of the pilings which now have to be reset approx. 15" - 18" into the ground. I have photos taken by a neighbor, but do not know how to upload them. Tow truck driver took some to show to the insurance adjuster. |
