Description of the problem | I was entering an eight-car parking area and decided to park a few feet ahead by a high chain-link fence. The car was almost to a complete stop and i was about to shift into park when i heard a "revving" noise from the engine. The car bolted. Braking hard ,i slammed into the fence and small tree. The airbags never deployed. I sat stunned. Never experienced anything like this in all my years as a driver. I believe the car malfunctioned and there was a "sudden unexplained acceleration". Fix this problem or take the car off the market! |
