Description of the problem | As i was turning into a parking spot to park my car, the car accelerated on its own and ran into a concrete wall. I have had issues with this car's programming, including when i took my car in to get fixed after the safety recall in january '16. As i realized the car was accelerating - and pushing on the brake would not stop it - i lifted the emergency brake. The crash ultimately stopped the car - not the brake or emergency brake, and the airbag deployed. Less concerned about the damage to the outside of the car, and more concerned that i had zero control over the car and any ability to stop it. |
