Consumer Description

ON 1/23/12, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ON A LEVEL LOT, MY 2005 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX LUNGED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE NOT DRIVE! I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED! THE SECOND TIME IT LUNGED FORWARD SO QUICKLY I WAS AFRAID THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE FULLY APPLIED. THIS SECOND LUNGING INCIDENT DAMAGED/CRACKED THE AIR DAM, AS IT WAS NOW WEDGED AGAINST THE CONCRETE PARKING SPACE DIVIDER. AT THE SAME MOMENT, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED/LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE....AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF..THEN GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. UPON RE-ENTERING THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START! IT FINALLY RESTARTED ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. *TR
