“I was driving very slowly in a parking lot, trying to find a place to park. When I was on the 4th floor I found a spot, made a right hand turn, and as I slowly turned into the spot I took my foot of of the accelerator to put my foot on the brake, the car accelerated and caused more than $16,000 worth of damage to my car. I have leased this car since aug, 2017. Before that I leased a 2015 Nissan LEAF and never had any problems with the care.”
