Consumer Description

Going to park at an outdoor public parking lot I was going at slow speed made two left turns to get to my my parking space. More than half way into parking spot the car suddenly accelerated and jump the curve going down a small incline and jumping the curve of the parking space below at that time able to control car. Lucky that there was no person walking or a car parked in the parking space below because it would have caused a head-on collision or something even worse, as far as I can see there was no damage to car. My wife was in the car and she was shook by incident!!! Incident happen very sudden and unexpected. I have seen multiple similar incidents on internet and it seems like dealership can't replicate the issue and they dismiss it.
