Wednesday october 10th 2018 approximately 10:30 a.m. I was on my way to smoothie kind in cooper city located inside of a plaza. As I turned into the parking spot with my foot already on the brake to slow down into said parking spot the vehicle accelerated on its own. I pumped the brakes once nothing stopped the vehicle and it went over the medium between parking spots and hit a unoccupied vehicle on the left front. Then stopped just before hitting a tree.
Takata recall-the electronic throttle control light has been appearing in my car when I start it. I think it's absolutely insane the amount of complaints on the etc but yet nothing has been done about it. If dodge is making a faulty part in their vehicles it should be covered under a recall or be fixed. I was driving 60 MPH when I noticed my accelerator and rpms were being weird. Luckily the flashing etc came on as I was coming into town so I was able to pull into a parking lot.
