Description of the problem | I was in a parking area looking for a parking spot. I had just driven up a slight incline and crested the top when i spotted an open space on the left. I braked slightly to turn into the spot, lifted my foot off the brake but kept it covered and made the left turn intending to coast into the spot. In the middle of the turn the vehicle inexplicably accelerated at which point i slammed my foot on the brake ending up cross ways in the parking spot and just short of a parking sign in front on the curb. The engine immediately returned to idle speed. The throttle pedal, which is top mounted, was examined and found to be clear and free. No idea what might be the cause, most likely electronically related. Frightening situation. |
