 On saturday, may 12, 2012 i was pulling into a parking space at the post office. the car suddenly lurched forward at a high rate of speed and my brakes were non responsive, my car slammed into the curb. had there been a pedestrian crossing the parking lot at that time, the results could have been fatal.
