I came to a complete stop right after a left turn into strip shopping parking lot. My automatic transmission in drive with my left foot on the brake. My truck suddenly took off on its own hitting another vehicle at high speed a few inches away to my right. From police report later it appeared 5 other vehicles were hit. Mine was towed to a city lot and retrieved by my insurance company and totalled.I had fractured mid left clavicle and was put in ambulance to ER. No other injuries I’m aware of to any persons.It occurred a few days prior but in a parking lot with nothing in front of me to crash into so I had time to think to step on brake and move auto transmission to park or neutral. No other times did it occur to me. My husband also drove truck and coincidentally had 3 backup accidents in a row backing out of a parking space. First time that type of accident had happened to him.I told everyone what happened but I couldn’t see witnesses or exchange information because my pain was too severe. According to what I heard others saying or what was written I wasn’t believed. They tricked me once I got to ER and locked me on psych ward like I was suicidal but I never told anyone I was. I think they wanted to keep me in hospital longer for the money because they did nothing but an X-ray and I went the entire night with no pain medicine right after radiologist told me that clavicle fracture is the most painful kind of fracture.

SITTING AT A DEAD COLD STOP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES - BRAKES JUST RELEASED WITH ME STANDING ON THE PEDAL - ALLOWING ME TO ROLL INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT APPROXIMATELY 5MPH. I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING AND STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - ZERO EFFECT. I FELT NO LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE OR MECHANICAL FEEDBACK THROUGH THE PEDAL AT ANYTIME. IT'S AS IF THE CALIPERS ALL JUST RELEASED WITH ME ON THE PEDAL THE WHOLE TIME.
