description: I HAD JUST STOPPED MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE AND, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO THE PARK GEAR POSITION. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AS IF I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND THE ENGINE LEAPED FORWARD THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. I HIT THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AND CAME TO A SCREECHING STOP. I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE BUT IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. A NEIGHBOR CAME AND ASKED IF I NEEDED HELP. I ASKED HIM TO TRY BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE FOR ME. HE TOOK MY PLACE BEHIND THE WHEEL AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH THE SAME RESULT. HE ASKED ME IF I HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ON BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. I TOLD HIM NO AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO USE REVERSE AGAIN THE GEARS ENGAGED AND HE BACKED THE TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE FOR ME. *TR
