My car was in Auto-Hold mode, with my foot resting lightly on the brake. I briefly turned my head to move a jacket from the center console to the passenger seat when, without warning, the car suddenly accelerated on its own.

A few weeks ago I was in an accident in a parking garage and I believe this was due to a malfunction in the car. The reason I am writing this letter is in hopes of preventing future accidents. In this case, luckily no one was hurt but considering the extend of the damage, that could have easily not been the case. I was coming down the ramp of a parking garage and making the 180 degree turn common in parking garages. As I was making the turn in the last 90 degrees, th… Look up ODI 11628950 at NHTSA ↗ | 2ODI 11760643On July 21, 2026, a catastrophic safety defect occurred involving sudden, unprompted vehicle acceleration and a complete loss of braking capability.
