I was turning into my parking space at my condo, and the car suddenly accelerated and went over the car stop and the sidewalk and finally stopped when I hit a wall and palm tree. I stood on the brake, but it would not stop. I kept thinking "why isn't it stopping". I know I was going slow because I have to make a turn to go into my space, and as my neighbors said, I never drive fast coming into the parking lot.
