NHTSA Complaint #11309949 — 2013 TESLA MODEL S

TWICE MY TESLA LUNGED FORWARD ACCELERATING SPEED WHEN TRYING TO PARK RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. I REPORTED BOTH ISSUES TO TESLA. FIRST TIME THEY DENIED THAT HAPPENING AND THE SECOND TIME THIS PAST YEAR THEY NEEDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THEN WHEN I PROVIDED THE INFORMATION MY EMAILS KEPT GETTING BOUNCED BACK. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN PARKING IN A SCHOOL PARKING SPOT WITH A CEMENT BLOCK. AS I WAS SLOWLY DRIVING INTO THE SPOT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SO FAST MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY OVER THE BLOCK AND I PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME. I REMEMBER I KEPT PUMPING THE BRAKES AND IT KEPT GOING FASTER. I CLIPPED THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO ME AND MY CAR WE TO INTO THE DIRT AREA AND SINCE I PULLED THE WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID THE BUILDING IT CONTINUED OFF THE DIRT AREA BACK ONTO THE PARKING LOT AND FINALLY STOPPED. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED FROM GOING OVER THE CEMENT BLOCK AND MY WHOLE LEFT SIDE WAS DAMAGED FROM SCRAPING ALONG THE FRONT BUMPER OF CAR PARKED TO THE LEFT OF ME. THAT OCCURRED IN SPRING OF 2016. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE WAS SEPTEMBER 30, 2019. I HAD PARALLELED PARKED IN BETWEEN A GOLF CART AND A CAR; MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED I HAD MY FINGER ON MY CONTROL TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND ONCE AGAIN IT LUNGED FORWARD AND I JERKED MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT IN ORDER NOT TO HIT THE GOLF CART STRAIGHT AHEAD. I ENDED UP CLIPPING THE GOLF CART AND MY RIGHT FRONT END GOT THE BRUNT OF IT. I HAVE PHOTOS IF YOU WANT THEM BUT I NEED TO GET HELP LOADING THEM IF YOU NEED THEM SO CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT THEM.
