When starting up the car you can smell a rubber burning smell comimg from the air vents. When driving the vehicle sometimes while driving it the car accelerates on its own.
While trying to park the car in the parking lot structure, the car accelerated beyond control on it's own and hit the wall head on. I was already in my parking spot and only few feet away when the car accelerated. The passenger air bag was deployed and body damage occurred. Everything happened so suddenly, I am not sure about the speed at the time of impact.
