I WAS PULLING SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING LOT WHEN SUDDENLY CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION..CAR WAS GOING EXTREMELY FAST..I HIT A POST AND A BUILDING..AIRBAG DEPLOYED..CAR WAS TOTALED.. AIRBAG SAVED ME. CAR ONLY HAD LITTLE OVER 30,500 MILES..IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MY FAMILY WHO DROVE THE CAR CAR SAID THAT AT TIMES WHEN RELEASING BRAKE THE CAR WOULD LURCH FAST FORWARD OR BACK WHEN IN REVERSE. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING BUILDING THE 1ST THING I DID WAS LOOK WHERE MY FOOT WAS..IT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I KNEW IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "DRIVER ERROR" BECAUSE I AM 80 YRS. OLD. BUT IT WAS THE CAR. ACTUALLY THIS HAPPENED BEFORE A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR . SAME SITUATION..PULLING SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED CURB WENT DOWN A HILL AND ENDED UP ON NEW ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION..THAT LANE HAD NOT OPENED YET. I MANAGED TO STOP AT BOTTOM OF HILL. CONSUMER HAS INJURIES FROM THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD..NO ACCIDENTS. I AM A RETIRED RN..VERY CLEAR MINDED. NO SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. *LN*JB
