| Description of the problem | It was march 2008 and i was pulling into a parking space in front of a store (speed was not a factor as i was in the parking lot and had to stop before i pulled into the space); it was 1:00 in the afternoon (beautiful, sunny day); the car touched the curb, made a revving sound, jumped the curb and i was hitting the brake (saying "why won't it stop?") but it went into the storefront window. I was 55 at the time, never had an accident (caused by me), and a very good driving record since 16. It was not reported via the police; only the mall security because it was a parking lot. My insurance covered it (car & building). I have the repair records but no parts. I was totally dismissed by everyone when i said the car wouldn't stop, hence i doubted myself. My friend & i both had our seat belts on and no one was injured (thank god no one was walking on the sidewalk in front of the space). I asked the repair place to check my accelerator & pedal but said they found nothing wrong. |
