My 2013 Camaro had 89k miles, garage kept in excellent condition. My vehicle had never given me any issues and has impeccable maintenance records. I was pulling out of a parking spot when my engine started riving and jerking and I accelerated while in reverse and hit a concrete post behind me. I applied the brake and placed the car in drive. My car took off with a high speed of acceleration with my brakes still applied, and accelerated out of control. It followed the same path back into the parking spot ( I could not stir it) jumped the curb and ran through a brick wall finally coming to a stop in the middle of the business. The engine was still racing and in drive but the car had finally stopped and in a state of rest. I had to put the car into park and kill the engine. I could not control the car, the engine was racing with high rpm-??s on its own, and driving in -?? auto pilot-?? for lack of better term. Not one air bag deployed despite the fact I ran through a brick wall and totaled the car.

My radio turns on and off-very distracting to my driving and makes a loud popping sound from speakers-which is startling. Along with this my defrost turns on and off which sometimes limits my visibility. This happens while the car is parked and while driving intermittently. It happens about 20 times while driving a short distance of about 10 miles. It also happened while I was driving on the interstate.
