## Narrative
The vehicle started to bounce and accelerated on its own while making a left turn and was not  responding to brakes to slow down and kept going faster and faster.  The vehicle was only responding to steering.  The car went up a curb into a yard, heading to a house , which was avoided by steering  to the driveway and hit a parked car,  then  proceeded to a car parked on the street,  then continued  across the street and struck a truck  facing the opposite way, which bounced the car into a yard  and hit a tree which bounced it back and  finally stopped by a electrical line.   4  collisions and no airbag.  Because it was 4;45am in a neighborhood street, no one was injured.   The car is totaled   by the body shop and insurance company is not willing to pursue with manufacturer.  The spontaneous acceleration, brakes and airbags are  major safety failures.  If this was any other time of day or on other busy streets, the outcome could be much worse.   I read online that there was a software issue with this vehicle for acceleration in Japan and others who have had this problem here in the US. I would like this investigated and reported.
