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.

Leaving client's driveway, put car in reverse and backed out of driveway stopping at the opposite side, across the street. Turned steering in the direction I was heading and placed car in drive. Lifted my foot off brake and car took off without my foot touching the accelerator. It was like I had depressed the accelerator to the floor and my foot never touched the accelerator. I hit a parked car. I was terrified.
