While parking the car in the parking space, it suddenly self-accelerated, jumped the curb, and crashed into the wall in front of the car resulting in injuries to both the driver (2 fractured neck vertebrae, 3 fractured ribs on right side, and broken left foot) and passenger (laceration to right hand and bruised ribs on left side). The acceleration was too fast for either the driver or passenger to respond. Airbags did not deploy, and the car was considered a total loss due to the extensive damage to the front end.

And around 17,000 miles the car developed an extremely loud squeak that sounded as those it was coming from the dashboard. I took it to the dealer who discovered that were loose bolts from the factory causing the front bumper to squeak. In the process of looking for the squeak they dismantled the dash board. Now the dashboard has come apart around the passenger airbag and cannot be put back to original factory specs. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a passenger in the event of the airbag deployment.
