I was sitting in the car when my wife came out of the store and got into the it. I put my foot on the brake and started the car. It took off at a very high rate of speed. The car lunged ahead and steadily picked up speed. The car hit a lady walking with her groceries, then hit a parked vehicle and pushed it into another vehicle. The air bag never deployed. The brakes would not work. The only thing that made it stop was that it hit a large SUV. My wife did not have time to fasten her seat belt, thus sustaining injuries. It all happened in a matter of seconds. There was a police report filed. I was not charged with the accident.
I purchased the vehicle on May 24, 2017 at a public auction in Washington, DC. That means that these vehicles are still being sold as if there is not a problem with them. The vehicle had about 240,000 miles when I purchased it. When we checked the internet, we found that there were hundreds of complaints. BEWARE!!!

Thought unintended acceleration might be a myth. Parallel parking car, foot on brake (thank God) and loud acceleration occurred, car moved forward, more pressure on brake and shifted to "Park" and it stopped.
Scary.
Fearful of driving car now.

It was a scary situation. Luckily I was able to stop vehicle befor an accident happened . Not the first time this happened. I'm worried it may happen again and I wont be so lucky and get into an accident. Very scary thought.
