| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was in a grocery store parking lot, looking for a parking place,went down one aisle, turned left to and started up the next aisle. right after i made the turn i pulled into the aisles second parking spot on my left side. i never picked up speed after turning into the aisle. just after i started into the parking spot my car literally lunged forward and "took off" all on its own. (i did not have my foot on the gas pedal)....i rushed to push down on the brake but by that time my car had already run up on the hood of the car facing me from the other aisle. i had no control over the car. i was to stunned at the time to know now if my brake stopped the car or if the car's acceleration stopped on it's own once it was on the hood of the other car. i am so thankful no one was injured and how bad this could have been if i was stopping to let a pedestrian cross and this happened at that time. *jb |
