NHTSA complaint: 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PARALLEL PARKING MY CAR AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR MADE A REVVING SOUND AND WENT IN REVERSE. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND MADE THE SAME NOISE. IT WENT INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME, AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY AFTER THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK OUT OF PARK TO GO REVERSE SO THAT I CAN GET MY CAR AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT (THAT I HIT) AND THEN I PARKED IT SUCCESSFULLY. PROBABLY THE SCARIEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED BECAUSE I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER MY VEHICLE. WHEN I TELL MY FAMILY/FRIENDS ABOUT THE INCIDENT THEY THINK I'M A CRAZY PERSON BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS BY SAYING IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING (SUCH AS A GHOST LOL) TOOK CONTROL OF MY CAR. I'M NOT SURE IF I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE WHEN MY LEASE IS UP. *TR
