Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY WORK AND ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED AND ACCELERATED, CAUSING MY CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED SO FAST. ONE MINUTE I WAS PARKING AND THE NEXT SECOND I HIT THE POLE. I SUSTAIN SEVERAL INJURIES AND AM WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT MY CAR.
