Unintended acceleration: car started without any issues, as I was driving a slow speed down my driveway as I attempted to stop before entering the street, the car lurched forward under acceleration. I shifted the car into neutral and with the engine racing to about 4,000 rpm with rev limiter cutting in I stopped the car with the brake, I turned the engine off and restarted in neutral. Engine again raced to 4,000rpm with rev limiter cutting in. Stopped engine again and restarted a third time, this time engine idled normally and drove without incident. Called dealer, no records from anyone indicating a similar situation.

When pulling into my parking space at my condo the car suddenly accelerated and went over the parking space cement marker, over the shrubs and onto sidewalk. I was finally able to apply the brakes hard enough to stop the car before crashing into the building. I just nicked the edge of the cement doorway leading into the walkway to my condo but it was enough to cause the hood to buckle. There was some damage to the undercarriage of the car and the total cost of repair was $5500. 00.
