| Description of the problem | I was driving slowly down the street, made a left turn into a parking lot. Perhaps i turned a little too sharply. There was a sudden surge and acceleration and the brakes were unresponsive. The car "ran away" while i tried unsuccessfully to brake it. Hit the building. I backed away and it surged backward and hit a tree. Then i was able to get it into park and turn it off. |
