THIS IS THE FOURTH INCIDENT, BUT THE MOST SCARY. THE THREE PREVIOUS TIMES, WHILE SLOWING AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND A CAR TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY, MY CAR SURGED AFTER NEARLY COMING TO A STOP. USING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW IT AND LIGHT TAPS IN THE REAR BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OCCURRED IN EACH INSTANCE.
TODAY'S INCIDENT CAUSED ME TO SURGE INTO CROSSING TRAFFIC, UNBELIEVABLY BEING MISSED BY ALL CARS FROM THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT AND ALSO ME MISSING A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BY ONE INCH AS IT PASSED BY. I CONTINUED ACROSS THE STREET TO JUMP A CURB AND CLIMB UP A SMALL HILL. THAT ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWING ME TO STOP THE SURGE. ALL OTHER CARS HAD STOPPED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND ALLOWED ME TO BACK DOWN THE HILL, TOTALLY EMBARRASSED.
I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. WHEN IS A RECALL OR AT LEAST A FIX BE ISSUED???
