Sudden unintended acceleration. The car suddenly accelerated instead of stopping when I applied the brakes while pulling into a parking space. I was going approximately 5 mph. Instead of stopping, the car jumped a concrete parking block, went over a curb, climbed an embankment, and struck a tree before it came to a stop. The car suffered damage to the front driver's side wheel well and the undercarriage. The driver was not injured and the airbags did not deploy. Video surveillance captured the incident in its entirety. Photos of the scene and the resulting damage to the car are also attached. This incident occurred during a routine trip that I drive about 4 times each week. Weather, traffic, and road conditions were not a factor in this incident. The car does not contain any aftermarket equipment.
