Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
