“The Lexus es 300h 2013 model car while parking on the flat drive-way (no slope), having the brake pedal depressed and moving the gear lever from d to park, the car suddenly accelerated within a fraction of a second and hit the garage door, completely breaking the garage door. The front of the car got damaged and a car parked inside the garage also got damaged. The air bags did not deploy. The car stopped after the gear lever was moved to park. This experience was frightening and is a very serious and dangerous safety hazard. …”
