Description of the problem	I was pulling into a parking space in a parking lot, going less than 5 miles per hour. As i turned into the spot, the car lurched ahead, so quickly, that slamming on the brakes still caused me to slide a bit. I ended up hitting a car parked in the spot in front of me, and causing $1400 worth of damage (to my front bumper and the other cars rear bumper). I had a friend in the car with me who vouched for this. I have never had an accident before, and was completely baffled by what happened. After googling this, i see that this car has had several similar incidents, and i am now worried about the safety of my car. I am unsure how to proceed, as i have read that mechanics seem unable to duplicate the event that occurs where it seems to accelerate rapidly. Very embarrassing- i have never had a car accident before!
