## Narrative
In September 2023 this Porsche Taycan 4S accelerated suddenly while going very slowly in reverse after displaying a red warning message on the dashboard "Electrical System Error."  The brakes did not work and the car crashed into a house.  No one was injured, but the car was declared a total loss.  I see a recent safety recall (April 19) on your website for issues with the lithium battery and I believe that this may have caused my accident.  I did report this as a safety issue to you in 2023 and confirmed tracking number assigned by NHTSA for this issue is 11556555.
