AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, I SLOWLY TURNED THE CORNER TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED ON THE CITY STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING A PARKED CAR. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED - MINOR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE CAR WAS EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED. IN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE, I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUZUKI SX4 AND ITS "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, REPAIRPAL, AND CNN. AT THIS POINT, THE DAMAGE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THOUGH IT IS LIKELY TO BE $4,000-$5,000.
