    Yeah, its just the new version of “my gas peddal got stuck” or the more general “my car accelerated out of nowhere”

    FYI, neither actually happen, despite thousands of claims going back decades, and if they did, brakes easily overpower engines. People confuse their pedals and don’t believe it.

        Parking brake is not the same. Try googling it. Or think of the physics -your car can go from 60 to zero a lot faster than it can go zero to 60. Or watch the top gear episode where they test it on a mustang with a thousand horsepower and stock brakes.

        A parking break is different than the breaks operated by the floor pedal.
