Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Wife, driving into regular parking spot @ work. speed 10 -15 mph. applied brake and the vechile "lunged"forward. striking the curb. damage appeared minimal. but was quite extensive underneath. but there was quite a lot of damage to the engine subframe and underside of front, not visable externally. cause....we think. a baby bottle rolled from the back seat and lodged under the brake pedal. in the pt cruiser, there is a clear passage under the drivers seat. we are sure that this was the cause of our incident. i have installed a hardboard "stop" under the drivers seat to prevent a reoccurance. passenger side has a storage drawer and thus is not a problem. has there been other incidents where the cause could be an object rolling from the rear passenger area and getting jamed under the brake pedal? *nm
