Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS PARKING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, I CAME TO A STOP ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM A FILE CABINET AGAINST THE BACK WALL. THEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO MOVE BACK A FEW INCHES FOR BETTER CLEARANCE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE FILE CABINET AND TOTALED IT PLUS DAMAGED THE FRONT BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD. NOTE THAT APPLYING THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP IT. VERY THANKFUL THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEN. *TR
