## Narrative
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq. The contact stated that while attempting to park into her son's parking pad, the vehicle independently accelerated reverse while in the reverse(R) position. The vehicle initially hit a gutter on the side of the house; as the vehicle continued to accelerate, the contact forcefully depressed the brake pedal but to no avail. The vehicle continued to accelerate in reverse as it hit a porch column which swung the vehicle around and off the parking pad. The vehicle then hit a tree as she stood up on the brake pedal which finally stopped the acceleration. The contact immediately placed the vehicle into park and exited the vehicle. Once the acceleration stopped, her son parked the vehicle and informed her that several warning lights and warning chimes had sounded as he parked the vehicle. The contact sustained minor soreness and emotional trauma as a result of the failure but did not seek medical attention. A police report was not filed and the vehicle had yet to be towed. Her son's porch column and downspout gutter were damaged as a result of the failure. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on her vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 33,500.
