It left the parking lot, crossed a sidewalk and went onto a street near an intersection. I kept applying the brakes, but car still wouldn't stop.

Sometimes the vehicle wouldn't start backup right away, so we were stuck on the road until it finally…

While reversing out of my parking spot at work the other day, the car completely stalled while my foot was on the gas pedal.

I drove down a country road…
