“On october 17 shortly before 2 pm pst in clear weather, I was pulling into a parking spot on private property at about 2 to 3 MPH. I turned the vehicle into the spot and applied the brakes but the car surged over the curb, hit a tree, went over an embankment and crashed onto a parked car. (the airbag did not deploy, but there were no injuries.) the ignition would not turn off after repeated attempts. Finally I depressed the ignition button for about 10 seconds and it turned off. Just 5 days earlier, the car had undergone a safety recall repair to the electronic circuitry. …”
