AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY I PULLED UP TO THE CLOSED GARAGE DOOR AND AS I PULLED TO WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE DOOR I PUT THE BRAKES ON BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS BASICALLY AT IDLE SPEED BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR AT WHICH TIME I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID PROCEEDING THROUGH THE HOUSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER CARS, I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THEN AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN.
