What owners wrote
We had an accident 2days ago. We were in the school loop to drop off our son to school. My husband was driving and was heading towards the drop off area when everything just happened so fast, the next thing I knew is that we hit one of the in-ground installed basketball hoops. The impact was hard and deployed all the airbags on the passenger seats and the side airbag of the driver and the 2nd row passenger seats where my son was seated and also saw some smoke from the front where I was seated and I do not know…
When slowly pulling into a parking spot, the car accelerated on it's own jumping the curb and slammed into a chain link fence. I pressed the brake pedal but it didn't respond. My ten year old child was in the back seat and thankfully we are both unharmed. This is the second incident of the car accelerating on it's own. The first time this occurred was during my first week with the car and when I was slowly driving around a traffic circle in a residential area and the car took off on it's own.
