What owners say
Tl* may 3, 2019 2:34 p.m, contact was driving very slowly to make the turn into my assigned parking space, when all of a sudden, on its own, my car accelerated at great speed, forcefully pressing me against the seat back, flying over the stop curb at the front of my space, continuing across the gravel leeway before smashing part way through the cement block wall that surrounds our property. Demolished the front of my car as it punched a large hole in the cement block wall. Air bags deployed, causing deep bruising, swelling and abrasions on arms, legs and stomach. My left shoulder joint and upper back were wrenched enough that I am having to do physical therapy. Firemen and emt's were there and checked me out. The police were on site and filed a report. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified. My insurance company had the car moved to a collision facility and declared the car a total loss. I bought the car new with 1350 miles on it. The mileage was just 3,591, when the car accelerated on its own, out of control and smashed through the concrete block wall. The consumer stated as a result of the crash, there were injuries including a wrenched shoulder and upper back. There was deep bruising on the abdomen and abrasions on the right leg. *js *dt *tr
