Narrative

I was parking my car a Hyundai Ioniq 6, in an easy parking space when I briefly removed my foot, which was lightly depressed on the gas pedal to hit the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated jumped the curb hit another car and hit a tree. The airbag did not deploy I am uninjured. The other car was parked, but was damaged. My car was damaged. It all happened in about two or three seconds and my foot was no longer on the gas pedal. Moreover, the automated systems for parking collision warning, and for automatic stopping did not work. This is what came up when I googled it. Reports suggest some Hyundai Ioniq models, including potential Ioniq 6 instances, may exhibit unexpected, brief acceleration following a software update meant to address a separate braking recall. This issue is often linked to the "N-shift" mode, where the car may accelerate for 2-3 seconds after the driver lifts their foot.  I had that software update
