| Description of the problem | While parking car in a parking spot in private office parking, the car accelerated itself (while pressing the brake to stop it) and ran into front wall. This similar problem has shown earlier where car accelerated itself without causing any accident. Apparently problem exist where car sometime accelerate itself. Last time acceleration cause crash into front wall with severe damage to the car. Now car is at body shop for repair.

This is the reason for the crash to be at an angle, this was done to avoid crashing into building windows and injuring inhabitant of the building. |
