INSTEAD OF TURNING RIGHT SIDE TO PARK THE CAR THAT ACCELERATES WITHOUT ANY CONTROL STRAIGHTFORWARD AND HITS THE WALL. ALTHOUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE CAR AND WALL IS APPROXIMATELY 20- 22 FEET, THE DAMAGE IN THE CAR WAS A TOTAL DUE TO THE UNINTENTIONAL AND UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION INDUCED HIGH SPEED [PICTURE IS ATTACHED]. MOREOVER, SHE HITS HER UPPER FRONT CHEST TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAG OF THE CAR COMES AFTER THE IMPACT. THEREFORE, SHE HAD STERNUM AND RIB FRACTURES BY THE CHEST X-RAYS AND CHEST CT IMAGES FROM THE HOUSTON IMAGING LAB.

ENGINE START STOP BUTTON PROVIDES HAPTIC FEEDBACK WHEN PRESSED BUT DOES NOT START OR STOP THE ENGINE, UNLESS PUSHED WITH ENOUGH FORCE. THE HAPTIC FEEDBACK LEADS THE OPERATOR TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE CORRECTLY DEPRESSED THE BUTTON BUT THE ENGINE HAS NOT STOPPED/STARTED. THIS IS CONCERNING AS WHILE THE CAR IS IN "DRIVE" YOU COULD THINK YOU HAVE STOPPED THE ENGINE WHEN THE BUTTON HAS CLICKED BUT NOT STOPPED THE ENGINE.

My safety bag warning light has been coming on and off. I have no accidents or anything mechanically done to cause this to trigger.
