Icon4 car almost hit the wall coming out of a car wash

car rolled to the left side because of the roller in the car wash when it was coming out why did this happen? I looked like a bikini model with my hands spread across the hood at the car wash trying to stop the car from hitting the wall thankfully bystanders helped...car is an automatic eg hatch

I think you are supposed to remain in the car while it gets washed. Apply brake or turn so you don't hit the wall.

Somethings out of wack. Maybe a brake caliper is sticking on one side and the wheel doesn't spin as freely. I would jack up the front end and see if both front wheels spin the same. If one does not then I would investigate more and try to figure out why.

Why were you not in the car when it was being washed ? Car should be stopped and ebrake applied. Something in your story isn't adding up.

Torque steer. Probably twisted the chassis coming off the line.

I jacked up the front and took both wheels off everything looks good, i took it to my mechanic and he said it might of just been the one left roller on the car wash that kept pushing the car since it was in neutral and since nobody got in the car to drive it to a spot to dry it ..it almost rolled to a damn wall...im never going to that car wash again

half of the above replies are jokes, just fyi.

I too and wondering though why nobody was in the car. some car washes require the car to be in neutral, some require the ebrake on and brakes held. but there should still be someone in the car
