| Description of the problem | I started the car to let it warm up. The manual gearshift was in neutral and the emergency brake was engaged. As i got out of the vehicle, it lurched forward and i attempted to get back into the vehicle to apply the brake. It lurched a second time before i was able to get inside. I attempted to get inside the vehicle a second time to apply the brake but was not able to due to the car lurching forward again.. On the third "lurch" it continued to drive forward, hitting my mother's parked car and pushing it back approximately 3-4 feet into the back wall of her carport. Finally, the engine died and i was able to restart it, back it away from my mother's car, and assess the damage to her vehicle and my body. I purchased this used vehicle 12 days ago. |
