Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION WAS OFF. I STARTED THE CAR, PLACED IT IN GEAR AND IT "BOLTED" FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED. I WAS PARKED FACING A GUARD RAIL IN A SHOPPING CENTER AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND SMASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP FOR EXTENSIVE REPAIRS. I DON'T HAVE THE REPAIR ESTIMATE AS OF THIS DATE. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. *NM
