NHTSA complaint: 2011 NISSAN ROGUE — ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND HAD ENTERED OUR PARKING LOT AND WAS READY TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. AS I PULLED IN AND WAS AT A STOP , MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT. I STARTED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS A 2010 FORD EXPLORER THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK END OF THE CAR AND PUSHED IT AT LEAST 30 FT DEAD STRAIGHT. MY CAR CONTINUED GOING TO THE RIGHT AND OVER A ISLAND AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO STOP THE AIR BAG HAD GONE OFF. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED SINCE I WAS STOPPED, THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES THAT SAW MY VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE NEXT THING IT ACCELERATED. I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED AND READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME AND AFTER MY VEHICLE GETS REPAIRED I WOULD BE AFFRAID TO DRIVE THIS. I AM THANKFUL THAT OTHER THAN BRUISES I AM OK AND THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON A MAJOR STREET.
