What owners wrote
I went to park in a diagonal, on street parking spot, and applied the brake to stop. The car instead accelerated, jumped the curb and proceeded into an adjoining parking lot. I turned hard right to avoid vehicles and struck the retaining wall at the back of the lot with my left front quarter panel. This impact steepened the turn and shot me back out of the lot and onto the street. I proceeded up the street, the car accelerating all the time.
Car accelerated out of control. I was going in my garage. Ice at front of garage. I tapped the accelerator and I ended up in my garage wall, damaging my car and kitchen. This is the second time this has happened. A year and a half ago, the car accelerated out of control in my neighbors driveway and hit the garage door. ...updated 04/21/15
