Description of the problem | I was pulling out of parking spot in reverse in a crowded movie theater parking lot when my 2011 honda cr-v accelerated at full speed into the cement pole behind me. Confused, i put the car in 'drive' to pull myself away from the pole, when the car once again accelerated at full speed forward toward the spot i was original in hitting and continually pushing a parked mini-van, which in turn pushed and kept pushing the parked car next to it. In an attempt to stop the car, i put the car in reverse and once again went in reverse, crashing into the same cement pole. Despite the fact that i bore down on the brakes repeatedly, the car did not stop until i put the car in 'park". Immediately thereafter, i turned the car off. This all occurred in seconds and was terrifying... I had no control of the vehicle. Witnesses in the movie theater parking lot were stopped in their tracks hearing the loud roar of the engine. |
