Reported on Jan 31, 2012
| ON JAN 31, 2012 AFTER THE LUNCH BREAK, I WAS PARKING MY CAR PER USUAL IN MY OFFICE PARKING LOT WHICH I PURCHASED ON DEC 27, 2011(1 MONTH, 4 DAYS OLD). I COMPLETELY SLOWED DOWN AND APPLYING BREAK AND RELEASING TO PARK THE CAR IN THE RIGHT WAY. THE CAR CAME TO A STAND STILL A LITTLE BEHIND (BY FEET) FROM THE LOT. SO, I THOUGHT OF MOVING THE CAR LITTLE BIT FORWARD TO PARK CORRECTLY. WHEN I STEPPED ON ACCELERATION WITH VERY MINIMAL IMPACT, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED (UNINTENDED) AND HIT THE MOBILE TRAILER WHICH IS IN FRONT. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE CAR WHICH COSTS $3000 TO REPLACE FRONT HOOD, BUMPER, FIX THE FRONT DOOR WHICH WAS DAMAGE. THIS INCIDENT ALSO DEPRECIATED THE VALUE OF MY CAR, INCREASED BY INSURANCE PREMIUMS WHICH I AM PAYING FOR TILL DATE. I HAD TO PAY $1000 OUT OF MY POCKET. DUE TO THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO GO THROUGH A VERY TOUGH TIME.IT ALL HAPPENED WITHIN A SECOND AND HORRIFYING. TILL TODAY, I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED BECAUSE I AM VERY CAUTIOUS IN DRIVING AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE HAD DRIVING EXPERIENCE FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON MY EMAIL, CELL PHONE. | |
