Consumer Description
I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE NEXT TO MY WORK AND WAS PARKING BETWEEN TWO CARS, I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT THE PILLAR ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT WAS ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR ON PARK. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. I FELT THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPING. LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER TESLA VEHICLES IN A PARKING GARAGE SIMILAR TO MY SITUATION. TESLA STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED THE REPORT TO ME SAYING IT IS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, BUT TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY. DAMAGES HAS COST ME ALMOST $10,000. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND I HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD.
