What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 volkswagen jetta. While the contact's daughter was driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle shook and the instrument panel lighting flashed. The driver depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to slow down or stop. As a result, the driver crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The driver sustained injuries to the left shoulder and back, which required medical attention. The injuries to the other vehicle occupants were unknown. A police report was not filed.
Parking the car in parking space. Car made extremely loud noise (like a backfire) and then auto accelerated. Tried hitting the brake but brake did not decompress. Hit a parked car in front of me.
