## Narrative
On December 27, 2023, vehicle was taken to the service center of the dealership where it was purchased.  The primary concern was that the car would at times suddenly launch forward and increase in speed on its own.  Employees/repairmen test drove the vehicle, scanned the codes and the concern was not duplicated.  On January 14, 2024, when slowing to park this vehicle, it suddenly raced forward, causing driver to hit a post.   I have this documentation.  Vehicle was totaled (at loss to me).  I need some remedy.
