ON AUG 16, 2018 @ 6:30 AM WHILE EXITING AT THE GARAGE IN MY APT HEADING TO WORK; I STARTED THE ENGINE OF MY CAR AND IT WAS OKEY. I STARTED TO DRIVE ON THE RAMP ON THE DRIVE WAY THE ENGINE STOPS. I REVERSED/ BACK UP AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, WHILE ON THE RAMP AGAIN IT ACCELERATED AND NEVER STOP THOUGH BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE CAR WON'T STOP; SO I DECIDED TO CRASHED MY CAR AT THE CAR PARK ON THE SIDE STREET, BEFORE I REACH TO THE TRAFFIC LANE AND MIGHT CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. I DAMAGED MY CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL AS THE CAR I CRASHED ON/ THE BUMPER, HEADLIGHT & FENDER WERE VISIBLY DAMAGED.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
