“I pulled into my parking spot in my condominium complex, with my foot on the brake pedal (at zero MPH). As I was trying to put it into park, the vehicle suddenly lurched forward and jumped into the hilly woods. I pressed harder on the brake pedal but it would not stop or slow down and I wasn't able to control the steering. The car continued going through the hill full of large trees. Finally the vehicle only stopped when it crashed into a tree. I had a hard time opening the door to get out of the car because it was wedged against said tree. …”
