Consumer Description

CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT. STARTED, PUT IN REVERSE, THEN PUT IN DRIVE AND CAR TOOK OFF STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND HIT TWO OTHER PARKED CARS BEFORE I GOT CAR IN NEUTRAL. MOTOR STILL REVING TILL IGNITION TURNED OFF. CAR ONLY TRAVELLED ABOUT 25 YARDS BUT WAS LITERALLY UNCONTROLLABLE FROM AN ACCELERATOR OR THROTTLE STANDPOINT--FELT LIKE IT WAS IN A FULL OPEN POSITION--IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST--HARDLY ANY TIME TO REACT, LUCKILY NO INJURIES.
