description: ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE HARRIS TEETER GROCERY STORE LOCATED AT 2019 S GLENBURNIE ROAD, NEW BERN, NC. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON THE LEFT. THEREFORE, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY PULL INTO THE SPOT. AS I CONTINUED TO MOVE IN A FORWARD MOTION WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD NOT PULLED COMPLETELY INTO THE SPOT AT THE TIME, SO MY FOOT WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN ON THE BRAKE. WHEN OUR CAR LURCHED IT THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR CAR IMPACTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF THE SPOT WE WERE PULLING INTO CAUSING THAT CAR TO ROLL OUT OF ITS PARKING SPOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT HAD QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. OUR CAR'S LEFT FENDER ALSO SUFFERED DAMAGE AND THE RADIATOR WAS BUSTED. OUR CAR ALSO HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE LOT. WE ARE HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE WHAT MADE IT LURCH. AND HONESTLY, I WILL BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS FIXED IF THEY FOR SOME REASON SAY THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM UPLOADING PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO BOTH CARS. I ALSO RECEIVED A CITATION FOR THE ACCIDENT AND NOW HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO CLEAR THIS UP. I WILL ALSO BE FILING THIS COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH MITSUBISHI
