Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me understand what happened to me today. My gears have been sticking a little bit for the last two weeks, particularly when i change into first.
I was going into the supermarket car park today, I changed into 2nd as I turned into carpark, or so I thought, then turned left, the car was travelling too fast I mounted the curb, then realised I had no control, the car careered towards to wall getting faster as it went and then slam.
I instinctively pushed down on the brake and nothing... I have been over this million times today in my head. Even if i hit the accelorator by mistake, I surely would have heard a rev???
I am lucky to alive, I am lucky my child was not strapped in the car seat in the back, and very lucky that no-one was in front of me in the carpark loading up with shopping..
The car is a right off, I had to climb out through a back door, because the front doors had buckled and stuck.
I am a careful driver, no speeding, corners all taken in 2nd,....has this happened to anyone..
The car is a 1996 brava, the clutch was replaced two years ago, and it passed its nct/mot 2 months ago ?
