Upon putting vehicle in park while at a complete stop with foot depressed on the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated at a rapid speed. As a result, the vehicle side swiped another vehicle on it's right side. A factory representative inspected the vehicle but couldn't locate the cause of the rapid and sudden acceleration.
