Reported at 41,000 miles, August 2015 CrashInjury

While pulling into a parking place at a neighborhood grocery store, I stepped on the brake and the car accelerated with a huge lunge into the car facing me. If the other vehicle had not been a large van I would have not have been able to stop the car because at that point I lost complete control of my vehicle. Just thinking of what 'might have been' is terrifying! In searching the internet I found at least four of these unintended acceleration accounts..... Same car, same year, same model.
