Consumer Description

I WAS ENTERING AN EIGHT-CAR PARKING AREA AND DECIDED TO PARK A FEW FEET AHEAD BY A HIGH CHAIN-LINK FENCE. THE CAR WAS ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I WAS ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHEN I HEARD A "REVVING" NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR BOLTED. BRAKING HARD ,I SLAMMED INTO THE FENCE AND SMALL TREE. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.I SAT STUNNED. NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALL MY YEARS AS A DRIVER. I BELIEVE THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AND THERE WAS A "SUDDEN UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION".FIX THIS PROBLEM OR TAKE THE CAR OFF THE MARKET! *TR
