Description of the problem | While backing out of my driveway i applied power and the vehicle seemed to accelerate rapidly rearward ... I stomped on the brake pedal with my left foot but the brake was unable to slow or stop the car. The car sped across 4 lanes of traffic backwards barely missing on coming cars and went about 150 to 200 feet down opposite traffic lanes backwards very fast. It finally stopped facing on coming traffic and they allowed me to slowly to come against them and turn into a driveway off the street. I narrowly missed other cars on the street as it was a high traffic period time of the day. .. About 5 pm. I've driven it about 3 to 5 miles a day since with no problems since then with much more care than usual. I don't know how fast it was going as i was trying to steer. |
