Consumer Description

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND READY TO BRAKE, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED. I HAD TO "STAND" ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. HAD I NOT DONE SO, THE CAR WOULD HAVE HOPPED OVER THE PARKING BLOCK, BROKEN THROUGH A FENCE AND HIT A BUILDING.
