What owners wrote
I had parked the car in a grocery store parking spot between two cars and had my foot on the brake. I was about to shut off the ignition when the car suddenly moved forward. Intuitively, I pressed harder on the brake, but the car speeded up, jumped over two parking barriers, travelled about 50 feet at high speed, hit the back of another car, a honda odyssey van with sufficient force that the honda itself jumped over a parking barrier and a curve and hit a pillar in a building's veranda.
