Description of the problem | On january 10, 2019, i slowed down in my local grocery store parking lot, going about 10 miles and hour, and was coasting into a parking space at about 5 mph. It was about 1:15 pm on a sunny, clear day. I was applying the brake to stop the car as i pulled into the spot yet i was going slow and coasting straight into the spot. Suddenly, the car sped up, the brakes had no response, and the car accelerated hitting 3 parked cars near the parking space. I did not have my foot on the accelerator, i had my foot on the brake. . . But more than anything, i had no control, it was unintended acceleration. Then the car stopped after i hit three vehicles and fortunately no humans. I was shaken, but no bags deployed. I have approximately 6950 miles on this car. I have been the only owner. I am afraid to drive this car because i am concerned it will do this again and i will be in traffic or near people and i could hurt or kill myself or someone else. There was no warning of any problem. I don't want to update my documents on the internet but will submit once i have an nhtsa employee reach out to me. My records include a filed police report, a report with mazda corporate (as of today) and pictures of the vehicles which are available upon request. |
