Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF JANUARY 10TH AROUND 8AM I HAD TO TAKE MY PET TO THE VETERINARIAN. I PULLED INTO THE ENTRANCE AND WAS GOING TO PARK MY CAR IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING WHICH HAS PARKING SPACES RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A BUILDING. IT HAPPENED IN A SPLIT SECOND AND NO TIME TO RESPOND. I NEVER HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH POWER IN THIS CAR AS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE VEHICLE JUST SHOT OUT LIKE A BULLET. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED DUE TO NO ONE WAS HURT OR INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT.
