Consumer Description

I STARTED MY CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE, IT WOULDN'T STOP! I HIT A PARKED CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN RE- VERSE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND IT AGAIN ACCELERATED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. MY CAR COULDN'T BE STOPPED BY APPLYING THE BRAKE. CAN A CAR GO FORWARD WHILE IN PARK? I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I'M ONLY GUESSING AT THE COST OF THE DAMAGE. IT COULD BE A LOT LESS. I'M HAPPY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS AROUND AT THE TIME!
