Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN OUT TO LUNCH AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE IN MY WORKPLACE PARKING LOT. I EASED INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND NUDGED THE GAS TO GET COMPLETELY IN THE SPACE. WHEN I NUDGED THE GAS, MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITH SUCH A FORCE THE CAR WENT OVER A CONCRETE BARRIER IN THE PARKING SPACE AND I THEN HIT A BRICK AND CONCRETE WALL THAT WAS KNOCKED DOWN. AN IRON RAILING WAS ON TOP OF THE CONCRETE AND THAT GOT SMASHED AS WELL. MY CAR WAS MOVING AT SUCH A FAST AND FURIOUS SPEED I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. AS A RESULT, MY CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE REPAIRS THAT WERE NECESSARY. THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED EXACTLY THREE YEARS AGO IN THIS CAR AND IT WAS THE SAME SITUATION. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE AT A SHOPPING MALL AND AS I EASED ON THE GAS TO PULL INTO THE SPACE, AGAIN, MY CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND I HIT A TRUCK THAT WAS IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF WHERE I WAS PULLING IN AND MY CAR STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE CAR NEXT TO THE TRUCK. MY CAR WAS REPAIRABLE. THANKFULLY, BOTH OF THESE TIMES I WAS IN THE CAR ALONE. I HAVE CALLED GM/SATURN AND MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. ...UPDATED 09/28/15*BF
