On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, my wife was parking her car in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx, 4220 Summer Ave, Memphis, TN 38122. As she turned right into the parking space, at a very low rate of speed, 1-2 MPH, the engine revved and launched her into another parked vehicle. Once the engine revved and launched she had both feet on the brake pedal.

When traveling down a road straight about 45 MPH the automatic braking system flashed 'brake' on the cluster and then the the car came to a stop when there was nothing in front of me that I could see. Car has 16000 miles on it and this has never happened before. The car behind me had enough room to stop in time.
