What owners wrote
On friday, november 18, 2016 at approximately 5:20 a.m. I was parking my car in a center city parking garage. I was approximately 2 car lengths from the parking spot. I was backing my car into the spot. The car was stopped and I removed my safety belt and lowered the window. I put the car in reverse and depressed the accelerator to proceed into the lined parking spot. The car proceeded at a high rate of speed into a concrete wall.
Transmission not shifting gear, vehicle disabled and unsafe to drive. When vehicle is shift in drive it propels in reverse. The issues first occurred while car was in motion in drive on a busy traffic way. As I pressed the accelerator the vehicle did not move forward and was stalking but the engine revved up.
