| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had just left one area of a parking lot and was traveling to another at a low rate of speed (5 to 15 mph) so my 2002 toyota prius was running under electrical power. i turned right to pull into a parking space between two suvs, coasting in with my foot over the break pedal. when i was more than halfway into the parking space, the car suddenly shot forward jumping the curb and stopping only when it hit a stone pillar. when i looked down (after checking to see if my 13 year old son was alright, i saw that my foot was on the brake pedal. fortunately no pedestrian was in the walkway, and i did not hit the suv to my right or left. however, the unexpected acceleration was not a result of pressing on the gas pedal. *jb |
