Description of the problem	I fully stopped in a parking place where i use to go every monday to pick up kids from a dancing school. After i fully stopped and try to put the clutch on p the car accelerated by itself. I went trough a building and as i tried to control the car i was trying to put in p and i was not able. I kept my foot on the brake and tried to stabilize the car.. Eventually the car ended in a ditch and i was able to exit immediately. The air begs opened only after i exit the car. I was in complete shock and i was taken to a local hospital by the rescue squad. I asked my insurance to keep the completely damaged car to be inspected by lincoln inspectors since the car had 2 problems 1. Accelerated when fully stopped 2 air begs did not open during the crash with the building my insurance chubb wrote to lincoln company but until today no one responded or inspected the damaged car. I was lucky the kids were still in class, i could have heard many of them if i would have been a few minutes later. I request an investigation of the car sincerely
