Body & structure

I was turning into a parking space going approx. 2 MPH when suddenly the car accelerated so fast that it jump onto the curb and hit a tree. Luckily, I did not hit a person or another car. However, my brand new car is now in the body show and is estimated to cost at least $40K. It completely damaged the inside of my car. Its mind boggling to me how the speed all of a sudden went so fast. Note that I do not have the VIN because it is in the body shop. Also, it is the Range Rover sport 2014 (that option was not available in the selection so I just chose Range Rover 2014).

Body · 5,000 miles · Jul 2014 · crash

While driving home yesterday my driver door flew open while going down hwy 167 south. ( I know the door was shut! It was locked when I got in the car) while driving the rest of the way home holding the driver door shut ! Because it wouldn't close!( not even the soft shut door close) I got home and research for recalls or safety issues... There is a recall but, says it was done a year ago! But, apparently the recall part or software didn't work! I almost fell out of the SUV yesterday while driving!
