Consumer Description

THERE WERE TWO SUCH INCIDENTS. UPON COMING BACK AT LUNCH TIME TO WORK, I TURNED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE ANGLE OF THE CAR NECESSITATED ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT TO THE RIGHT. WITH THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE RELEASED BUT WITH FOOT IN BRAKE POSITION THE CAR SURGED ALMOST HITTING THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT DEFINITELY A SURGE, A PERSON CAN FEEL THE SUDDEN ENERGY. IN BECOMING MORE AWARE OF THE CAR AFTER I HAD AN ACCIDENT DOING THIS SAME TYPE OF MANEVEUR, THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO MANEVEUR THE CAR FOR PARKING AND AT THE SAME TYPE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED VERY TIGHT IN ONE DIRECTION. *AK
