Description of the problem | While parking and depressing the brakes, the car accelerated like a rocket and jumped over the parking curb onto the road with two way traffic. I had no control over the car. Within a few seconds the car flew across the road and hit a fence and was stopped only when it fell into a ditch by the railroad tracks. Luckily the car did not turn over. Surprisingly, the air bags did not deploy. I kept hitting the breaks and when the car stopped my foot was still on the brake. |
