Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS PREPARING TO PARK. THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AND JUMPED THE CURB. THE BREAK WAS NOT RESPONSIVE, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR HIT A POLE AND STOPPED. I CALLED THE POLICE AND FILED A POLICE REPORT. THIS IS SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE OWNING THE CAR.
