Narrative

Two week old 2024 RAV4 hybrid with less than 300 miles. In my driveway I put car in drive and it suddenly and aggressively accelerated. It would not stop or slow despite my attempts to brake, trying to avoid collision all I could do was steer to avoid impact. Finally grazed a tree trunk, car then rolled onto passenger side and came to rest against the bush by my front door. Spouse and I required extrication by fire Dept requiring jaws of life and removing windshield. Unsure of long-term injuries Been driving many years and never had an accident with vehicle damage Car was totaled
