description: UPON ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE AND PARKING, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY HAVING JUST MADE SEVERAL TURNS WITHIN THE GARAGE AND THEN ALIGNED, AS USUAL, WITH THE LINES TO PARK. THE CAR REVVED EXTREMELY HIGH AND TOOK OFF STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL THROWING ME BACK IN TO THE SEAT. I ONLY NEEDED TO SOFTLY TAP THE BRAKES TO BREAK NORMALLY, BUT IT TOOK OFF. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I MADE SURE TO CHECK THE FOOT PEDAL AREA TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS INTERFERING WITH THE GAS, BUT NOTHING WAS NEAR. THE MATS ARE CUT WELL AWAY FROM THE PEDALS. I SUFFERED BURNS/SCRAPES FROM THE SEAT BELT ACROSS MY COLLAR BONE, WHIPLASH FROM THE IMPACT, AS WELL AS, A SORE CHEST ALSO FROM THE IMPACT AND SEAT BELT. I FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS POSSESSED AND TOOK OVER. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I AM SCARED THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT, OR WORSE, DUE TO THIS DEFECT IN THE CAR. *TR
