Vehicle Speed Control
I was positioning the car into a parking place when it accelerated forward very quickly. It seemed to me that it made two spurts, veering to the right, before crashing into an area of bushes and small trees bisecting the grass strip that divided two areas of the parking lot. I was not injured, and the air bag did not deploy. The cost of repair was approximately $5,000. I have repair invoices etc
