| I have three separate incidences. first occurring in 1997 while taking my grandson to high school: while completing the turn into the parking lot at his school, my 1986 thunderbird suddenly surged as if i had fully pressed the accelerator to the floor. fortunately, i was finally able to regain control and neither of us were injured nor was there any property damage. incedent#2- while returning home from shopping, i was driving in the lane closest to the curb on a 4 lane street when suddenly, again, my car accelerated and pulled to the right where i just barely glanced off a small stationery poll that was positioned basically on the sidewalk. again, thank god, no one was hurt and there was no property damage. final incedent #3: not so lucky this time. i was going through the mcdonald's drive-thru, after placing my order, my car suddenly takes off again, veers right, and my right front tire literally drives up one of the 5 very heavy-duty guard poles surrounding the main electrical box thus impailing my car and seriously bending the pole. in retrospect, i feel i was pretty blessed; no one was ever hurt...except for me, now, after more than 45years classified as a good driver now ipaying an extra$60.00 per month for my auto insurance for something that i know for sure was not my fault(plus the fact i had to dish out for a new car...and all this could not have come at a worse time. | |||
