The gas pedal on my 2006 ford mustang got stuck as I was pulling into a parking lot, causing me to hit 2 other parked cars. I applied the brakes but the car kept going forward and then suddenly stopped. This caused the wind to get knocked out of me. The damage to my vehicle consisted of the driver side fender,turn signal,headlamp,bumper and hood. Damage to the other vehicles was to their respective rear bumpers. I had the car towed to the dealer where I purchased it to have them look at the problem and was told that nothing was found and that I'd be responsible for the charges!
