Consumer Description
I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AS I PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR, I FELT IT GO DOWN UNDER MY FOOT, THUS HITING THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED IN JANUARY. 2012. I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPOT, AND I HAD SOFTLY BRAKED. AND AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELEATOR, AND LIKE THE FIRST TIME, I FELT THE ACCELERATOR GO DOWN BENEATH MY FOOT, WITHOUT PRESSING TOO HARD. I RAN INTO MY APARTMENT, AND CAUSED A GOOD DEAL OF DAMAGE TO IT.AS WELL AS MY CAR. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT SINCE, BUT I REMAIN SCARED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK VEHICLE TO OXMOOR HYUNDAI, IN LOUISVILLE, AND COULD NOT FIND FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND I HAD TO PAY JUST UNDER $100.00 TO TELL ME THIS. AND MY AUTO INSURANCE WENT UP DRASTICALLY. *JS
