Description of the problem | I was in a parking garage next to my work and was parking between two cars, i was coming to a complete stop when my car suddenly accelerated and hit the pillar on the left side. It was only a few seconds and i applied the brakes and put the car on park. This is a brand new car with less than 500 miles on it. I felt that the car suddenly accelerated when i was completely stopping. Later, i found out that this has been reported with other tesla vehicles in a parking garage similar to my situation. Tesla still has not provided the report to me saying it is proprietary information, but take no responsibility. Damages has cost me almost $10,000. I have been driving for more than 30 years and i have a perfect driving record. |
