Description of the problem | I had just entered the golf course parking lot and had turned right to enter a parking slot. My speed was less than 5 mph. My car suddenly accelerated out of control, hit the concrete parking block and jumped over a 1 foot high wall which was 3 ft. Away from the block. The car ended up on a downslope and the rear wheel fortunately caught on a retaining wall. I was not injured and the airbags did not deploy. There was one witness to this terrifying event which occurred on february 4th at about 8:10 am in a parking spot that i have used at least 50 times in the past year. |
