## Narrative
On September 16,  2024 at approximately 13:20 my mother was driving her 2023 Toyota Crown in the parking lot of the post office and she was slowing down to park in a parking spot when all of a sudden the vehicle lunged, surges, jerks ,speeds forward all on the cars own with no physical  driver commands . The car races forward all on its own while she is slowly pulling into a parking spot jumps the curb and crashes into a brick wall. The CVT ( Continuous Variable Transmission ) Is the problem and quite sure.
