I was in a library parking lot, going parking lot speed where children might be encountered. I turned right into a perpendicular parking space, no cars on either side. I went to brake as I approached the parking lot bumper and the car unexpectedly accelerated and would not stop. I crashed into a tree and metal pole, which stopped the car. I don't believe the car would have stopped without the tree and pole. I put the car in reverse and with difficulty backed back into the parking space. The right fender is severly damaged, right tire flat and I was unable to move the tires back to a straight position. The car cannot be driven.

Yesterday, 2/23, I was at the dealers for oil change and tire rotation and was told there was a recall on the vehicle which required a softwear update. Reading my maintenance report it seems that this was an emissions recall, service bulletin 23-038 and the PGM-FI software was updated.

This is a leased car which I got 3/31/23. No other cars or people or property were damaged or harmed. If this had happened near people and cars I fear that someone could have been killed or severe property damage would have occurred.
