## Narrative
On September 9, 2025, while slowly turning into a parking space at approximately 7 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. There were no warnings, alerts, or Safety Alert Seat vibrations prior to the surge. The vehicle rapidly accelerated forward, struck a parked car, went over a curb, hit a tree, and finally came to rest after colliding with the side of a building. GM has since taken possession of the vehicle for forensic analysis.
