NHTSA ODI 11574783

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE, THE PARKING LOT'S SLOPE WAS SLIGHTLY UPHILL. AS I SLOWLY APPROACHED THE PARKING SPOT AND TURNED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, I DECIDED TO LIGHTLY TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO GIVE THE ROGUE ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL INTO THE SPOT. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED--ALMOST AS IF I HAD JAMMED ONTO THE ACCELERATOR--EXCEPT I HADN'T. SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY TURNED TO THE RIGHT, IT SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR ALREADY PARKED NEXT TO ME. MY CAR THEN JUMPED THE CURB, KEPT GOING TO THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED INTO SIDEWALK RAMP RAILINGS. MY CAR FINALLY STOPPED. I WAS NOT HURT (WEARING SEAT BELT) BUT I WAS SHAKEN UP--THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO RESPOND IN ANY WAY EXCEPT TO TRY TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL--WHICH WAS USELESS. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR, AND THE OTHER PARKED CAR HAD DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE. THE SIDEWALK RAILINGS WERE KNOCKED DOWN. THE POLICE OFFICER CITED ME WITH RECKLESS DRIVING, SO HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT MY ACCELERATOR STUCK. IN THE PAST, RARELY I EXPERIENCED RAPID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (LIKE AT AN INTERSECTION)--THE RPM MONITOR WOULD REV UP TO A HIGH AMOUNT 5000+--EVEN THOUGH I HAD ONLY GENTLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL--I WOULD HAVE TO PUNCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN TO MAKE IT STOP REVVING. THIS WAS VERY RARE, SO I DIDN'T REPORT IT TO MY DEALER--I FIGURED THEY WOULD DISMISS IT IF THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I SAW ONE OTHER PERSON'S REPORT OF A VERY SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS?
