The car operated well at first start. early in the day, it drove 30+ miles. after being parked for 6+ hours in a flat public parking lot, it was turned on and put into reverse to back out of the stall. upon lightly releasing the brake, the car accelerated at a high speed (approx 20mph) and hit a parking pillar. a large amount of damage was done to the back end, including bumper, hatch, safety reinforcement bar and floor board all had to be replaced.
