I STARTED TO REVERSE AND AS ALWAYS THE BACKUP CAMERA VIEW CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS WATCHING AS I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE. MY WIFE FELT IT WAS VERY HOT IN THE CAR AND SHE TURNED ON THE AC. THAT SWITCHED MY BACKUP CAMERA VIEW ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE I HAD PULLED MY CAR HALF WAY. I WAS THEN DRIVING BLIND AS I PULLED OUT WITHOUT THE CAMERA VIEW ON THE DASHBOARD. I DIDN'T HEAR ANY "STOP" SIGN OR ANY AUDIBLE SOUND TO STOP BEFORE I HIT THE BUS BEHIND.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2019 TESLA MODEL X 2 WEEKS AGO. WHILE I WAS PARKING SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE SMASHED INTO A WALL . THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR TOOK A LIFE OF ITS OWN. I AM A GOOD DRIVER WITH NO ACCIDENT HISTORY AND DID NOT PRESS THE GAS. I HAD JUST PRESSED THE PARK BUTTON. I HAVE SEVERAL LACERTAIONS ON MY FACE. MY LEFT ORBITAL HAS A CONTUSION AND RIGHT EYE NEEDS RETINA SURGERY. I HAVE CRACKED RIBS. I WILL NEED EXTENSIVE REHABILITATION ON MY BACK AND NECK. I HAVE NONSTOP HEADACHES. WHAT IS SCARY IS I COULD HAVE BEEN WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD ON A HIGHWAY. I ALMOST DROVE OVER A 4-YEAR-OLD CHILD AND HER MOTHER WHO WAS PLAYING 4 FEET AWAY. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD. I KNOW THAT TESLA KEEPS SAYING THE SAME THING THAT IT IS THE FAULT OF DRIVER AND THAT MAY BE THE CASE BUT I HAVE SEVERAL WITNESSES TO SEE THE CAR TOOK OFF INCLUDING MY FIANCE DRIVING BEHIND ME. COME ON TESLA THIS IS A $120K CAR, I LOVED THIS CAR FOR THE 2 WEEKS I HAD IT, NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.
