| Description of the problem | Going to work in the morning and pulling out of the garage my foot was on the brake not the accelerator in reverse suddenly the car surged by itself while i had my foot on the brake. The car went in reverse very fast hitting our side concrete side wall. (the distance is about (28ft) the impact was so hard that the passenger window was completely broken and the passenger side of the back frame of the mercedes was smashed. It happened so fast that i lost control of the vehicle i could not stop the car the brakes did not work. After i hit the wall i was jolted forward and i smashed the front end of the car with the garage. The car finally stopped in the middle of the driveway. Again, i did not put the car in drive when i was jolted forward the car went forward from the impact of the hit from the wall and i did not put my foot on the accelerator. |
