| Description of the problem | I was backing out of a parking space at a taco bell when i noticed a car coming so i decided to stop and pull back into my parking space to let it pass. When i stepped on the brake my car suddenly accelerated in reverse and i stepped on the brake again, but my car continued to accelerate. I turned my car to avoid hitting the car and any other cars that may have been behind me. My car continued to accelerate and jumped a curb, crossed over a sidewalk and onto a lawn area behind taco bell. I stepped on the brake again trying to get my car to stop. I turned my wheels to keep from going into the drive up lane and finally got my car to stop. |
