At low speed, coming out of a grocery store parking lot, car went into sudden unintended acceleration without any warning. Fully pressing on the brake failed to slow or stop the car. With the brake not working and the car accelerating very fast the car became out of control until it crashed with a large rock /boulder when it stopped. There was extensive damage the the whole front half of the car. The car had to be towed in. I sustained a significant bruises of my breast bone and adjoining ribs. I am still in pain. This same exact malfunction with this same car as noted above occurred in 2013. I paid extra for mb to have an engineer examine the car but I was told nothing was wrong. On both occasions the air bags did not deploy.

Engine stalls while driving. The car loses power brakes and power steering. No check engine alert comes on and the lights remain on. The car starts again once I pulled over and started the ignition again. This has happened about 6 times in 18 months and is very dangerous. The last time I was coasting downhill around 40 miles an hour and, when the engine stalled, the check tire pressure on all 4 tires came on. When I restarted the car the check tire pressure lights did not appear.
