On march 7, 2020 the driver entered a parking lot of a retail establishment. The driver, using the brakes and traveling at less than 5 miles per hour, turned into a parking space. As the driver negotiated the turn into the parking space, the car suddenly accelerated and crashed headfirst into a retail signage pole. Despite depressing the brakes as hard as possible, the driver could not stop the car once the car suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated. The car would have landed in a busy four-lane road, if it had not crashed into the signage pole. Fortunately, there was no fatality. The car was totaled and there was some property damage to the retail establishment. It was truly a horrific experience for the driver.

I was attempting to park my car by backing into the parking space. As I was going forward to position the car before backing up into the space, my car suddenly accelerated and I had to quickly step on the brakes before it slammed into a tree. Even normal everyday driving I have noticed that there is a surge forward while applying the accelerator. I am really concerned because I do a lot of highway driving.
