Body problem #1

When pulling into my garage, the car suddenly accelerated unexpectedly and collided with the front wall of the garage (photo 08); when I shifted to reverse, the car careened out of the garage, across the driveway, and collided with my neighbor's home (photo 09), leaving skid marks (photos 06 & 07) on the garage floor. The car was in normal electric mode at the time. I purchased the car as a certified used car on may 3rd from dave gill Chevrolet in columbus, OH. There were 12,490 miles on the car at purchase and a little less than 14,000 miles as the time of the accident. I am uploading nine (9) photos.

Body problem #2

My wife has alzheimer's can't stand up or walk so can't put her in the back seat . Door opening is to small. We were on the interstate running 70 mph and she pulls on the door handle twice and the door opens door. Did not know they were having the doors to open when the handle is pulled twice she almost fell but seat belt saved her. They need to put a child lock on this door also.
