I was backing out of a parking place. My 2001 Subaru Forester suddenly accelerated. I had not put my foot on the accelerator pedal. I could not make the car stop with the brake although I practically stood on the brake. My right leg was injured because the ligament were strained by the force I used to try to stop the car. The car smashed into another car in the parking lot and suddenly came to a stop. Something similar happened in November, 2005 when the car suddenly surged forward and smashed into another car as I was coming to a stop. I assumed then that I had made a mistake, but now, with this second incident, I think there is something wrong with the car. The car is currently being repaired. I have asked the mechanic to check the accelerator.
