| Description of the problem | I was parking my car at work. I pulled into the parking space and backed up slightly to straighten my car. When i put the car into drive to pull forward again , the car raced forward with engine revving strongly. I could not stop the car with the brake. The car crashed and pushed through a thick brick wall. The airbags did not deploy. The car would only stop after i pushed the engine shutoff button. The gearshift was hard to move after the incident. |
