description: I GOT INTO A ACCIDENT LAST MONDAY, FEB. 13, 2012, LIKE AROUND 8 OR 9 IN THE MORNING. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN MY CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL EVEN THOUGH I WAS ALREADY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES AND I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT BUT THE CAR JUST KEPT GOING TO THE RIGHT UNTIL I HIT THE POLE SIGN THAT SAYS "NO PARKING AT ALL TIMES" (SOMETHING LIKE THAT). THE METAL POLE THAT I HIT BROKE AND ALMOST 1/4 OF THAT METAL POLE THAT WAS STUCK TO THE GROUND SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OF PART OF MY CAR AND THE BOTTOM COVERING FELL OFF AND IT COST $4,000.00 TO REPAIR AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $500.00 FOR MY DEDUCTIBLE WHICH IS NOT EVEN MY FAULT WHY MY CAR DID THAT. IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME MY CAR DID THAT. IT DID SOMETHING WEIRD TWICE LAST YEAR BEFORE I GOT INTO THIS ACCIDENT LAST WEEK. FIRST WAS LAST YEAR, A MONTH OR TWO AFTER I GOT MY CAR WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I TRIED STEPPING ON THE BREAKS AND INSTEAD OF MY CAR SLOWING DOWN, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THANK GOODNESS THERE'S NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE SECOND TIME WAS I THINK AROUND NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR WHEN MY FRIEND WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR TO SEE IF SHE WANTS TO BUY THE SAME THING. WE WERE TOGETHER IN THE CAR AND SHE WAS DRIVING WHEN SHE STOPPED STEPPING ON THE GAS AND BRAKES AND THE CAR JUST ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. SHE WAS SURPRISED THAT IT THAT BUT WE BOTH FIGURED THAT ANY CAR IS JUST LIKE THAT AND SINCE WE BOTH DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS WE THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO ACCELERATE ON
