I was slowly pulling into my garage to park. When I pressed on the parking break, the car revved to full speed, slammed into garage and would not respond to the brakes, or any attempt to turn off the ignition or to control the car, including failure of the automatic emergency braking, forward collision or parking collision to function, even though they were all turned on. When "park" was depressed, with the engine still revving at a high speed, the car flew full speed into reverse into the driveway, spun in a circle then flew through the driveway elevated concrete divider, through the neighbors fence and was stopped by a large boulder under the driver's side of the vehicle. The engine was smoking and revving and did not immediately stop. The driver's side air bag had deployed and the door was jammed. I crawled out of the passenger side. The neighbor into whose yard the vehicle went, witnessed the incident. Another neighbor rushed to the car with a fire extinguisher, disconnected electrical wiring and sprayed the engine. The car had gone totally out of control. It took the towing service 2 hours to get the car out of the yard. My insurance company determined the car to be a total loss. Recently, the collision center where the car was eventually taken, completed an analysis of the car's computer and determined there had been multiple computer system failures leading to the car becoming uncontrollable. Fortunately, I was not seriously injured. Had this happened in a busy area, there could have been a much more disastrous result with deaths. The police arrived but did not file a police report as the incident was on private property and there was no one seriously injured.

Parking at nursery shop, car went out of control speeding and running over the concrete stoper and nursery fence. It was a sudden acceleration and vehicle could not be stopped. The car was moving in slow motion to park and had a sudden acceleration that caused the accident. Very scary. Tried to stop pressing the brakes but the car would not respond. No injuries but it could happen to anyone anywhere.
