Description of the problem | On may 28, 2006, while attempting to make a routine stop in a commercial lot, the engine of the car revved, the car accelerated and jumped the concrete stop at the end of the parking space and crashed into a tree causing extensive damage along the driver's side of the car. The car was towed to the dealership who made the repairs. The dealership from whom i bought the car indicated verbally that nothing was wrong with the engine. I am certain that human error did not play a part in the car's sudden acceleration. *jb |
