Consumer Description

WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD JUST SHIFTED IN TO REVERSE AND LIGHTED UP ON THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR THROTTLED BACKWARDS. I QUICKLY PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STALLED OR QUIT. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE CAR THROTTLED BACKWARDS AGAIN. I PRESSED THE BRAKE, BUT IT DIDN'T STALL THIS TIME. I SLOWLY RELEASED THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO BACK OUT OF MY SPOT. A LITTLE WHILE LATER, HAVING ARRIVED AT ANOTHER DESTINATION, ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, IN DRIVE, AND AFTER RELEASING THE THROTTLE, TO APPLY THE BREAK AS I WAS COASTING IN, THE CAR 'THROTTLED' AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD A FENDER BENDER. *TR
