(reported on)

Optima LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,465 miles

This is unsafe, I was trying to park and the car accelerated full speed, we jerked I hit another parked car and now have to pay for her damages and mine! I couldn't understand what happened when we were parked! Office that came to take the report said they've had several calls on this car and that he actually saw something on the news last week and on the report system they use, I will be contacting him to get that information to use in my defense! I've only had the car since 2015 of April!
