## Narrative
At 12pm on June 11, 2023 I was parked in a church sparking lot in East Rochester and was facing the church's stone wall. My vehicle was only 2 feet from the was when the car accelerated toward the wall and all of the airbags opened and the hood and side panels were affected causing the vehicle was considered totaled by my insurance. My foot was on the brake and I was preparing to put the car in park when the car lurched forward and hit the wall at a high rate of speed.  GM examined the car and gave me a report I could not understand but their report indicated that there was not a vehicle defect.  I find this highly improbable.   I can send the report and perhaps your organization can read it or do your own inspection of my vehicle.   Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.  This same thing has happened to 2 other people I know who drive Equinoxes.   Best Regards,  [XXX]    [XXX]  Cell [XXX]     INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
