What owners wrote
While backing out of a driveway with foot on the brake, the vehicle accelerated on its own and crashed into a dirt embankment. The gas pedal had not been touched since the vehicle had been started, but the vehicle accelerated forcefully enough to redline the engine and cause substantial body damage on impact. Taking the vehicle to a dealership for diagnostic found no obvious issues and no recorded error codes in the vehicle's computer.
