NHTSA Complaint #11171052 — 2015 TESLA MODEL S

AS I PARKED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE ON 1/19/2019, I HAD PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS PREPARING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT THE FRONT OF MY GARAGE WALL. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND NOT MOVING. I HAD MY HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO EXIT. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED THE BREAKS BUT THE CAR SEEMED TO KEEP GOING INTO MY WALL AND THEN IT JOLTED AND STOPPED. IT WAS LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. THERE WAS NO ALERT OR ANYTHING. IT JUST SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE IN PARK. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS IS A VERY SCARY OCCURRENCE AND I AM NOT GOING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS RENDERED SAFE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT OR AREA WITH PEOPLE. I CONTACTED TESLA IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT TO FILE A REPORT AND SHARE MY CONCERN. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PULL LOGS AND BE IN TOUCH. I ALSO CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 5:50 PM.
