| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While slowly pulling into a parking space at my local fitness club vehicle suddenly made a roaring noise, accelerated, plunged forward, and struck two parked vehicles. this happened in a matter of seconds. after the car stopped, i put it in park and turned off the engine. i notified the owners of the other vehicles, and promptly called the police. when the police officer arrived, he completed exchange of information forms for all involved parties. he also told me to be sure to have the car checked out mechanically. the car was towed to a body shop for repairs. then, it was taken to the car dealer service department to have it checked for internal mechanical malfunctions. the service manager said they could not find anything wrong with the car. he said there were no error messages or indications of malfunction. however, later i noticed that the cruise control buttons may have been replaced with a new set. i am positive that the car malfunctioned due to an acceleration problem.*ak |
