Accelerator pedal or the transmission. I was backing up and the car revved really high and crashed me into a pole. I then tried to pull forwards and the car revved again and lunged forward, smashing into 2 cars. I did not even have my foot on the gas at the time. I had my foot on the brake and the only way that I could make the car stop was to put it in park. I had no damage to my own car but did cause quite a bit to the other cars. I had a friend who is a mechanic look at my car and he seems to think there is something wrong with the transmission. I only bought the car 7 months ago at a dealer and the transmission fluid is already dark brown. I'm not sure why this would be, I have had 3 oil changes on my car since I bought it and I've only put 9000 miles on it since I bought it 7 months ago. There should not be that kind of wear on the tranny after that little of use. I know that I did not accelerate so if the car is doing it on its own, I really don't want this to happen again.
