## Narrative
In accelerating of itself, both my own life and that of a potential bystander were in danger. I had no time to react to the sudden acceleration. This has never happened to me in over fifty years of driving and it was very obviously the result of a car malfunction. In addition, the automatic emergency braking function failed. There were no previous messages, symptoms, or signs. The car has been at the shop for three months. The dealer has failed to give us any feedback as to why the accident happened. All they have said is that they don't have the parts that they need to change. It was only after two and half months that they reached out to me. During one of my visits, one of the dealer's service representatives took me aside to inform me that she could not divulge any information about the causes of the accident, and that my case was a “legal one”. I still don't know what any of this means. In addition to all this, the pen drive located inside the glove compartment of the vehicle only has two days of picture and video information, and the file of the day of the accident is empty, which is extremely suspicious. I suffered burns from the airbag, and my cervical region was affected.
