Description of the problem	As i was preparing to park at my local grocery store in an assigned space i experienced a sudden unintended acceleration. The front end slammed into a concrete retaining wall, causing major damage to both my vehicle and the retaining wall. The car was practically at a complete stop when this occurred. Additionally when i reversed the car it accelerated back at a rapid speed. It was very scary and thankfully nobody was injured or worse. This could have been a serious or fatal situation and i feel that there was some kind of electronic failure. Considering the safety record on this car i felt very unsafe and not in control.
