Description of the problem	In a private parking lot, after executing a 90 degree left turn into a parking spot and with the brake pedal applied in order to slow then stop the vehicle, the vehicle surged forward just before coming to a complete stop. You could hear the engine rev up as it surged forward. Application of the brake pedal did nothing to slow it down. After the vehicle was jarred by striking the curb the engine returned to normal idol. So much power was applied in the surge that the vehicle jumped a curb, traveled over a a grass plot and struck another car on the other side. Our ford escape suffered front end damage (toward drivers side) and the other vehicle (a ford eco -boost) suffered front and drivers side damage. Note that the vehicle was traveling forward at about one mph (almost to a full stop) when the surge occurred. As it surged the speed increased rapidly to about seven to ten mph. The vehicles were not towed at the time but when driving a short distance home a severe defect in the steering (pull to the left) was noticed making it virtually inoperable. The vehicle will be towed from our driveway to the body shop.
