## Narrative
Was at a drive through and took foot off the brake and barely put any pressure on accelerator the car went out of control — sudden acceleration.. First time this has happened with this car. Was definitely not working properly. Less than a second was at full Speed.  Had to swerve to try and avoid the car ahead of me.  Entire left side of car is crushed and torn apart.
