“Uncontrollable acceleration, overriding brake: unexplained accident occurred as I had pulled into angle parking slot, foot on brake ready to shift to park . Suddenly the car unexpectedly accelerated forward about 5 feet and lurched into the wooden parking barrier that delineates the edge of the parking lot, cracking it. Engine was revving. I shifted into reverse to get back into parking spot (foot on brake necessary to shift into reverse) and car accelerated backward totally out of my control, only stopped after backing into car parked on opposite side. …”
