NHTSA complaint: 1995 BUICK ROADMASTER — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS BACKING MY 95 BUICK ROADMASTER STATION WAGON FROM A PARKING LOT AT A RETIREMENT CENTER WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE TO ALLOW ME TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHOT BACK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, NEARLY A HUNDRED FEET BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND VEER IT AWAY FROM A CROWDED BUILDING AND THEN TURN OFF THE IGNITION KEY TO STOP THE MOTOR. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME AND WAS NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *JB
