Consumer Description

This happened with my new Tesla Model X Plaid with installed Self Drive software. The AUTOPILOT or SELF DRIVE mode was NOT enabled when the incident happened. Turning into a parking spot at a Target superstore, (next to a damaged at the rear end car, parked to the left of the spot I was pulling into), the car went out of control with unintended acceleration as if the car's Emergency Evasion system got activated unintentionally. It went over the curb and made a turn on it's own on the grassed divider and came to a stop on it's own, while I was trying to apply breaks all along. It caused damage to other cars but fortunately no people were harmed. This incident happened end of July of 2022 and I have since repeatedly tried to get answers from Tesla. There have been multiple other incidents of unintended acceleration reported by other drivers of Tesla with two incidents resulting in loss of lives. My car finally got repaired and has been released to me saying they have tested and found it safe to drive although I was told with regards to my incident "the engineering case is still open with no resolution at this point". I had requested a master technician to check my car but that has not been arranged yet. I have repeatedly contacted the local Tesla service center manager who has not been able to get an answer from her team with regards to the cause of the problem but at the same time was told that the current issues do not warrant repurchase of the car like I had requested.
