| Description of the problem | I was turning into my parking space at my condo, and the car suddenly accelerated and went over the car stop and the sidewalk and finally stopped when i hit a wall and palm tree. I stood on the brake, but it would not stop. I kept thinking "why isn't it stopping". I know i was going slow because i have to make a turn to go into my space, and as my neighbors said, i never drive fast coming into the parking lot. |
