“The contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while braking, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The contact was unable to maneuver the vehicle when it then crashed and traveled up the side support wires for a telephone pole. The contact was not injured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer.
