Consumer Description
I JUST BOUGHT A 2019 TESLA MODEL X 2 WEEKS AGO. WHILE I WAS PARKING SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE SMASHED INTO A WALL . THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR TOOK A LIFE OF ITS OWN. I AM A GOOD DRIVER WITH NO ACCIDENT HISTORY AND DID NOT PRESS THE GAS. I HAD JUST PRESSED THE PARK BUTTON. I HAVE SEVERAL LACERTAIONS ON MY FACE. MY LEFT ORBITAL HAS A CONTUSION AND RIGHT EYE NEEDS RETINA SURGERY. I HAVE CRACKED RIBS. I WILL NEED EXTENSIVE REHABILITATION ON MY BACK AND NECK. I HAVE NONSTOP HEADACHES. WHAT IS SCARY IS I COULD HAVE BEEN WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD ON A HIGHWAY. I ALMOST DROVE OVER A 4-YEAR-OLD CHILD AND HER MOTHER WHO WAS PLAYING 4 FEET AWAY. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD. I KNOW THAT TESLA KEEPS SAYING THE SAME THING THAT IT IS THE FAULT OF DRIVER AND THAT MAY BE THE CASE BUT I HAVE SEVERAL WITNESSES TO SEE THE CAR TOOK OFF INCLUDING MY FIANCE DRIVING BEHIND ME. COME ON TESLA THIS IS A $120K CAR, I LOVED THIS CAR FOR THE 2 WEEKS I HAD IT, NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.
