Identical to item odi id: 8003029. On march 05, 2002, I drove my car to several different places to take care of some errands. My last stop was at the seminole county circuit court in altamonte springs to apply for a passport. I parked my car in a parking spot. While I was moving the automatic transmission stick into the park position (with my foot on the brake pedal), my car suddenly accelerated, causing it to jump the curb in front of my car as seen in figure 1.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 73,000. The VIN was unavailable.
