I was parking at restaurant when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated jumped a curb, the sidewalk and came to a stop in the rock bed beside the building. In one of the diagnostic test--it did the following speeds in the last 5 seconds before impact -- 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 6 - 14. The vehicle lurked forward so suddenly, there was no time to react to anything. There were people sitting behind the wall we hit and I shutter to think of what could have happened if the rock bed had not been there. My Husband received a fractured ring finger in his palm as he, the passenger, grabbed the dashboard.
We are letting our insurance deal with GM. We are having the car savaged because we wouldn't want the ordeal to happen to anyone else. I am voicing this to alert of a problem. I have been pleased with GM in the past and still have one, but feel they are competing for quantity in styles and lagging on quality of product.
