On thursday, may 9th, 2002 I was pulling into a parking spot in the parking lot of the jewel store at 40th street and harlem ave. In stickney, il. My speed at that time was 1 or 2 MPH. About 3 or 4 feet from where I was to make a complete stop - the car suddenly made a loud "revving" noise and lurched forward - up over a curb, up a grassy embankment, knocked down two pine trees and sideswiped a 6' wooden fence before coming to a stop. My foot was on the brake as all this was happening, but the car wouldn't stop until stopped by the fence.
