I was parking in a bettendort, iowa restaurant parking lot when my car surged forward. I applied the brakes, but car would not stop. 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. It collided with an oncoming car, crossed over a median and finally stopped on another street across from the intersection.

I bought my 2006 ford fusion on 5/5/12. On 5/11/12 we went to get out of the car & the front passenger door would not shut. You would go to close it & it would just bounce back open.
