I as pulling into a parking space, going slowly. All of a sudden the car accelerated. I tried to brake but it jumped the curb, flew between 2 steel poles (meant to save the building), took out a tree and hit the building. The entire time I was trying to brake. After hitting the building, I was stopped by another tree. Fortunately, I was not injured. Initially I blamed it on me but I had similar problems 3-4 times before where it suddenly accelerated but I was able to stop the car. What a huge mistake I made buying this miserable car! I got rid of the car at the tow yard (instead of the fees). My son and I noted the frame was bent and that was all it took. Crappy car!
