Narrative

Using the recorded path feature to back into my garage as I have done many times before. I was alert, attentive and ready to act if needed. All started out ok and then the car automatically accelerated aggressively and I hit the brakes but too late as car backed into my garage HVAC unit. On a related note about 8 months ago my wife was driving my 2024 ix50 and pulled into our drive way. She advised that she did not know what happened but the car accelerated bashed into my other car parked in the the driveway and caused serious damage to the car she hit, state farm declared the 2024 iX50 totaled and I also had a decent amount of home damage. We both just assumed it was something she did but now I am not sure and have serious concerns about the 2026 iX45 and safety.
