A terribly frightening accident happened with my Subaru on 5/26/2020 at 3:35.
We have a steep driveway and my car accelerated and the brakes went totally out on my way down to check our mail. Could do nothing to stop it... It was like the car shot forward like a bullet, Headed towards a big tree so I turned wheels slightly and landed in a group of smaller trees. Both side airbags inflated, the front one did not inflate. I was just barely able to get out of the car because of trees blocking the door.
Thought I was a goner! Thank God I'm still here! I am sore all over, hurt my hands, which we bandaged, and strained my back.
I contacted Subaru America and Prestige Subaru in Asheville about what happened in this freaky acceleration of my car and loss of brakes and they have a case #1-565610781 for the accident. I have heard NOTHING back from them! The car was totaled by our insurance company. This was surely a defective car!
I am still in shock about my almost demise.
