## Narrative
On [XXX], I pulled into a parking space, and the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb, and hit the building.  This is the second time this happened.  It happened when I was parking in May 2022; the car suddenly accelerated and struck a fence.   In all my time driving this car, I have never had an issue breaking or parking.  There was an immediate surge in both cases, and I am confident that my foot was on the break.  In both cases, I did not get any collision warning from the car or emergency braking.  I know from experience driving this car that when the vehicle /system determined I was too close to something of danger, I would get a collision warning and an immediate breaking by the vehicle.  I reported the issue to the KIA dealership for the first time and wrote a report; they said they had not heard of the problem but would note it.  If there had been a person walking when this happened,  I am sure serious, if not fatal injuries would be occur.  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
