| Description of the problem | When i turned into park space and stopped, my car suddenly accelerated, hit two poles a few feet in front of my car, and damage the car bumper. This is a familiar park space which i parked many time previously. The might accelerate itself. I asked tesla for my driving data log but i have not received it yet. I don't remember exactly if i press accelerator or not when the car accelerated. If i did press the accelerator, the new stopping mode and possibly my turned steering wheel might force me to exert un-proportional pressure on the accelerator pedal. I expect that tesla correct this defect if it is root cause of this acceleration. |
