Consumer Description

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10TH 2018 APPROXIMATELY 10:30 A.M. I WAS ON MY WAY TO SMOOTHIE KIND IN COOPER CITY LOCATED INSIDE OF A PLAZA. AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT WITH MY FOOT ALREADY ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN INTO SAID PARKING SPOT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I PUMPED THE BRAKES ONCE NOTHING STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT OVER THE MEDIUM BETWEEN PARKING SPOTS AND HIT A UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE ON THE LEFT FRONT. THEN STOPPED JUST BEFORE HITTING A TREE. I'AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT THEIR SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION BECAUSE MY MILEAGE HAS DISAPPEARED SINCE.
