I was braking into a parking spot at the bank when without notice my vehicle accelerated wildly. I pressed on the brake with all of my weight to stop from literally ramming my vehicle into the side of the bank. The roar of the transmission was like someone was stepping full force on the gas pedal, but my foot was solidly on the brake and not even touching the gas pedal. It was terrifying. If there happened to be someone walking on the sidewalk in front of me, I would have hit them. I wouldn't have been able to avoid it. As it was, the only way I could stop the car from driving forward was to shift the car into park and then turn it off. After waiting a while, I restarted the car and cautiously drove home without further incident. This problem with sudden acceleration is so serious. It's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed. . . . Please look into it!.
