Description of the problem	I had pulled into a parking lot at a local gym, as i placed the car in park, the vehicle continued to stay in drive and surged forward into the building. Once the vehicle hit the building, i once again tried to place the car in park, and it once again surged forward and hit the building. The only way i could stop the car was to hit the power button to turn the car off. Once the officer arrived on scene, he asked me to place the car in neutral so that he could move the car off the curb, however, the car continued to move forward. As a result the car was once again powered down to avoid any further incident.
