I was pulling into a parking spot in a place i park on many occasions, had my foot off the accelerator, to put on the brake, and the car suddenly accelerated, went up over the curb, and almost down an embankment. i was able to stop the car before that happened.
I was using the autosummon on my tesla. i had used the car to park itself so figured that it would be safe to try. car was close to a wall. car immediately moved forward and hit the wall. there was no time to stop it as it turned immediately.

The car unintended accelerated when i pulled into garage and wait for garage door open. the sudden acceleration is totally out of control, even my foot firmly step on the break pedal. the accelerated car went through the garage door towards right, and hit and lift the other parked suv inside the garage. the speed and force push the suv towards the back of garage wall, and totally damaged the part of my garage.
I was at a parking lot and i was making my way into a slot when i first had to reverse them when i changed the gear the drive and released the breaks to move forward into the slot i suddenly accelerated and had to press on the breaks harder than ever because i thought at first i was releasing it too fast. but eventually i screeched into a full stop and avoided hitting the cars parked and worse going over the street onto incoming traffic. i noticed tire marks that my breaking had made at the lot.
I drove to work on may 2, 2019, and was trying to park in my allotted parking stall on the 3rd level of my office parking garage. my parking stall was along the outer edge of the garage and the only barrier to the outside was a set of three (about " diameter) cables strung between outside columns of the garage, besides a thin perforated corrugated metal sheet outside the cables, acting as a rain stop. i was trying to slowly turn right from the parking aisle to park between two pickup trucks on either side of my stall. when i had turned partway into my stall, my tesla suddenly accelerated into my parking stall at high speed, hit the outside cables, rebounded backwards and stopped about 10 feet from the outside cables. the cables saved me from plunging 3 floors down from the garage. there was extensive damage to the hood and front portions of my tesla. there was also some damage to the metal corrugated sheets outside the cables and a slight dent on the corner of the vehicle parked to my right. i have been parking in my office parking stall for about the past six months without any issue like this. i want to know why my car accelerated like that without warning and why the collision warning system was not triggered by the outside corrugated metal sheet. also, there was an issue with my tesla the previous evening. when i tried to start my tesla after work, i got the 'systems are powering..' message on the screen and my car would not start even after a long wait. then, i had to google to find a way to reboot the car computer, by pressing two buttons on the steering wheel. on the day of the accident, i used the intermittent rain sensing wipers for the first time, as there was a light rain. my car is still in the body shop waiting for some back ordered parts. i have asked tesla to do a diagnostics to see if there were any software bugs in the system.
