On July 13, 2025, as I was entering a small parking lot, my car suddenly accelerated on its own and crashed through a metal gate at the far end of the lot and then hit a large docked tourist boat. I had just turned right into the parking lot and was going approximately 5-6 miles per hour. I had not yet started to turn the wheel to park as the two available spaces were about midway in the lot. The car suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated. I had no time to react. The car was totaled. The airbags deployed. It was caused by faulty acceleration. The vehicle was towed, inspected by the insurance company adjustor There were no warning lamps or indications of any problems The car had undergone a software update on or about June 25,2025.
