Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING A LEXUS RX350 THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2011. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A LOCAL BUSINESS. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE SPED UP AND RAN INTO AN OFFICE IN THE BUILDING WHERE A LADY WAS SITTING AT A DESK. MY CAR CAME TO REST AGAINST HER DESK. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR A MOMENT DUE TO FRIGHT I THINK. THEREFORE, AN AMBULANCE WAS CALLED AND I WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL WHERE I HAD TO HAVE NUMEROUS XRAYS. THANK GOODNESS I HAD ONLY SOME STIFFNESS IN MY NECK AND SOME SORENESS....THE SAME FOR THE LADY IN THE OFFICE. I COULD HAVE KILLED HER OR ANYONE IN THE VICINITY OF THE OFFICE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD. *TR
