Description of the problem | I was pulling into apartment complex parking space when my 2005 toyota camry suddenly accelerated and surged forward. I had my foot on the brake and was half way in the spot when the car began to surge forward and jumped over sideway plowing into apartment building. I was pressing the brake all the way to the floor and the tires were screeching, but the car would not stop until it hit the building wall. The car will be towed to the dealership today for an estimate. There was severe damage to the apartment building. *jb |
