I was backing my 95 Buick Roadmaster station wagon from a parking lot at a retirement center when I depressed the brake to allow me to shift from park to reverse, the car suddenly accelerated and shot back across the parking lot, nearly a hundred feet before I was able to turn the wheel and veer it away from a crowded building and then turn off the ignition key to stop the motor. I had my foot on the brake the entire time and was not near the accelerator pedal.
