What owners wrote
The car suddenly accelerated to full speed when parking the car in a mall parking lot. I tried to park the car, it did not fit so I went reverse a couple of feet and when I put the car in drive, it accelerated on its own and the steering wheel turned all the way to the left. The car went over the tire stoppers and came to a complete stop when it crashed against a post. This was 100% the car's fault, I am sure I did not press the accelerator. I have submitted the claim with tesla and they are reviewing the data.
When pulling into a parking space the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated causing the vehicle to jump the parking curb and strike a retaining wall. I have the video from the car. While turning right into an available parking spot, I was about 80% into the spot when the vehicle surged.
