MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS SLAMMING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A STORE, THANK THE LORD I HAD FULL COVERAGE AND IT ONLY DID COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I'VE ALSO HAD TIMES WHERE IT WILL SAY THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OUT OR IT HAS NO UPHILL START, MY MODEL DOESN'T HAVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS ISSUES ALREADY.

WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A SLIGHT LEFT TURN FROM CURB SIDE PARKING TO GET ON THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TURN TO THE RIGHT I WAS HIT IN THE FRONT BY A CAR COMING FROM BEHIND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESETARTED. IN ADDITION WHEN THE COPS ARRIVED TO THE SCENE OF COLLISION THEY REQUESTED TO SEE IF THE CAR CAN BE MOVED AND WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED REVERSED AND THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO COOKS AUTO REBUILD LAKE CITY SEATTLE. THE OFFICER WHO REPORTED TO THE SCENE OF COLLISION ISSUED ME A MOVING VIOLATION TICKET VIA MAIL WITH REASON OF WRONG TURN FROM PARK NOT KNOWING THE REAL STEERING WHEEL MECHANICAL FAILURE. I PAID THE TICKET TO AVOID LATE FEES AND FINES.
