What owners wrote
The contact owned a 2020 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while reversing at low speed from his driveway, the accelerator pedal inadvertently depressed into the floorboard, resulting in sudden unintended acceleration. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The vehicle struck two other parked vehicles in another driveway before crashing into a residence. The residents were not injured.
On three occasions after taking my foot off the accelerator, my car starting accelerating on its own. I could feel the acceleration and was able to stop it by putting my foot on the brake. I did not touch the lever to set the speed, the pedal did not get stuck on the carpet and I did not confuse my accelerator for the brake. This seems to be a very dangerous situation, especially in heavy traffic or if I did not immediately react to put my foot on the brake.
