## Narrative
For the second time in a year, I was pulling into a parking space and when I applied the brake, the car accelerated, seemed to be airborne and lurched forward.  Though I firmly had my foot on the break, it would not stop until it hit a brick post about three feet away.  This exact same scenario happened in July of last year. Then, I hit a stand of shrubs.  Someone said, your foot must have slipped off the break and hit the accelerator. I said, “I don’t think so.” Yet, I took the blame for the accident, for I could not believe it was a car malfunction, nothing close to this had happened to me since I owned the car. Everything was the same in the last crash as in the first. This time, as soon as the car accelerated, I checked, and my foot was firmly on the break.  There is definitely a malfunction in the car.  The black.box Should be recovered and read by someone not associated with Hyundai.  I checked on Hyundai Tucson Owners’ group on Facebook, and my incident has been reported by others.
