Consumer Description

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR REED WITH THE TACHOMETER REACHING THREE. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR FROM JUMPING BACKWARD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT ON APRIL 19, 2012. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE HIT THE BAKE AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR COMPUTER HAS TO LEARN THE WAY I DRIVE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM THROUGH BEING INSULTED.
