Sudden unintended acceleration in driveway was I was pulling into carport. Slammed on brakes to prevent impact into carport wall.

I am very disappointed and shocked from what happened last December 10, 2019 (Tuesday). At around 5:50 am, I am slowly driving at the parking lot of my office at stryker corporation in san jose, CA. I am slowly parking my car and then there's a sudden unintended acceleration on my car which I cannot even control or stop. The acceleration speeds up automatically on its own even if I'm stepping on the brake. Due to the speed up on the acceleration, the car went over the curb with so much speed and moved towards the tent which is the smoking area in our work. The windshield of my car broke when it hit the tent and the car still moved to the other side of the island. Luckily, my car landed on a bucket of cement which helped my car to stop. It was really a terrifying incident which I didn't expect to happen because my car is new and I thought that it's the smartest and safest car. I have a dash camera on my car and I have a video of the whole incident that will prove that my statements are true.

My Tesla Model 3 just suddenly accelerated as I was turning right trying to the lot to park the car. My car hit the wall and then the hazard light came on.

The cause of the "sudden unintended acceleration" in Tesla vehicles is a design flaw in which the gas and brake pedals are too close together and not offset as in other vehicles. While Tesla alleges it is user error, this error is caused by poor design. 1. As you begin to stop or pull into a parking spot (vehicle in motion traveling at a slow speed in a parking lot), it is quite easy to push the wrong pedal, or push both pedals, causing acceleration. This is especially true for drivers with large feet. 2. Occurance is relatively rare, and can cause property damage and minor injuries. 3. User remedies include not wearing shoes while driving.
