| PARKING BRAKE | |||
| 07/01/2009 | 1600 | ||
| I had my 2009 db9 aston martin parked at the top of my driveway while retrieving my mail. as i walked back to the car (very short distance) it began rolling down the driveway. i watched as it rolled off the paved area &down a revene crashing into a tree. the parking lite was clearly lit after the crash. my son took pictures. aston martin would not take any responsibility for this accident saying i didn`t have it in park. i most certainly did have it in park because you can not get out of any car on my driveway without it being in park. i sold the car without repairing it & the insurance company paid me for the car. i of course had to pay my 5000 dollar deductable. i lost money trying to hire a private investigator who kept the car 3 months & never looked at it. he was charging me storage fees + numerous other things that didn`t happen. i wrote letters to aston martin of north america & also the owner in england. the response was small only saying they weren`t responsible...i never heard from england.. apparently this parking issue was a problem in 05 & 06 . they claim to have fixed this problem however i`m here to tell you they didn`t. it should 'never be this difficult to prove this kind of thing. thankfully no one was hurt but they could easily have been. just like toyota too many people were seriously hurt before anything got done. unfortunately it seems that it takes contacting you people to make these manufactures own-up to their errors & make things right.. | |||
