Consumer Description

AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND WENT TO BRAKE. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I WAS PUMPING THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP, CAUSING ME TO HIT A CEMENT POLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND CONTINUING INTO A BRICK BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE SEATBELT TIGHTENED AND I GOT 2 BROKEN RIBS AND TERRIBLE BRUISING WHEREVER THE BELT IMPACTED MY BODY. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED BECAUSE OF EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BODY AND UNDER THE HOOD.
