ON SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2012 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE POST OFFICE. THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND MY BRAKES WERE NON RESPONSIVE, MY CAR SLAMMED INTO THE CURB. HAD THERE BEEN A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
