I came upon your website by chance and found it most interesting. I purchased a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium last September and when it had about 500 miles on it, I was waiting to enter a local street, from a strip mall, here in Saginaw, Michigan.
I was sitting, with the engine idling and my foot lightly on the brake pedal when the car decided to accelerate rapidly ahead into the traffic lane and I took a 35 mile an hour T-Bone on my {Driver} side. I was shaken up and my wife was injured with the seat belt tightening up on her. She was hospitalized with a bruised heart from the seat belt tension.
We got hit so hard that my snug fitting baseball hat was laying on the back seat. The investigating police officer did not issue me a ticket and seemed almost aware of the problem. The car was repaired {mistake} and required about $13,000 worth of parts. I lost a bundle on the deal, as the repaired car was only worth $13,000.
I have since purchased a new car and am gradually getting back into the groove of driving. My $@#^% insurance went sky high through no real fault of mine. I hope this info helps someone.
