What owners wrote

My car had an unintended acceleration when I was trying to park in the parking lot of my office. The car accelerated, jumped the parking curb and hit another parked car. My car suffered substantial damage, air bags were deployed and I escaped with minor bruises. The car which was I collided with was parked and did not have any passengers in it. Nobody else was injured.
