Description of the problem	On november 14, 2019 my car was involved in an accident that i strongly believe there was a malfunction with the accelerator sensors or the accelerator itself. The vehicle suddenly accelerated aggressively as my sister was parking the car. She was going slow as she parked the vehicle and as she drove into the stall, the vehicle sped up aggressively and she could not stop it. We have videos (couldn't upload) that also show the wheels keep going even though it had already made contact with the pillar and nobody is pressing the pedal. Another concern we have is why none of the crash avoidance mechanism took over, the vehicle's safety settings didn't stop the vehicle from continuing to accelerate and drive right into the pillar. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle. We are available to talk with you about the details of the accident. We filed a complaint with tesla and they claim it is user error, but my sister is 100% sure she didn't press the pedal. We need your help with this investigation. We understand there are others that have filed similar complaints. We want to know what type of investigation tesla did to conclude it was user error. We believe the sensors are not working properly and this is the cause of the accident, but we don't have any way of knowing what kind of scrutiny tesla did in their part to look into what actually happened, also just because their records indicate that the pedal was pressed, we have no way of knowing if this is truly the case instead of the sensors actually inaccurately sensing that a foot was nearby. -- [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
