Reported on Aug 01, 2009
| MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING UP OUR HONDA FIT IN THE DRIVEWAY. HE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WHILE HE WAS BACKING UP IT MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND. HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. BEFORE HE EVEN MOVED HIS FOOT OVER TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT IT LEFT SKID MARKS ON THE DRIVEWAY. HE PUT HIS FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP. HE PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP. THE CAR CRASHED THROUGH OUR FENCE AT WHICH POINT HE PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND IT CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. *TR | |
