I turned around in a parking lot by backing up and reversing my direction, after i reversed my direction the car shot forward without my foot on the gas pedal. i kept pumping the brake hoping it would stop and i shot out of the parking lot into the line of traffic and avoided two lanes of cars driving west until i collided with a car heading east. it ripped off the front bumpers of both cars. i felt trapped in the car and could not control it. it just kept accelerating. i wish that i had the presenceof mind to turn off the key or push the automatic lever to neutral or even reverse. but it all happened in a few seconds and i just didn't have the presence of mind to do anything but step on the brake pedal. just once before, some months ago, i was parking the car in a public garage and it accelerated quickly asi reached an off ramp. luckily i was able to turn the steering wheel and negotiate the car around the corner onto the ramp. it scared me, but i thought it was just a freak incident and thought no more about it because i was able to slow the car down once i went round the corner. but this latest time i couldn't stop it and the car is a total wreck. |
