| I had pulled into the parking garage where i work and was pulling into my space. the car reved up and took off. i hit the parking curb, flew up and back down crashing into another vehicle it was still going and was going to hit another vehicle when i got the steering wheel turned away and out into the middle where there was nothing and got it stopped. if anyone had been walking in the garage at that time i could have hit and killed them. this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed. my car is a total loss. | |||

| I engaged my brakes and pulled into a parking spot going about 10 miles per hour. when i was about 6 inches away from the sidewalk curb (about 6 inches high) with my brakes applied fully my vehicle revved up really loud and lunged forward violently and crashed through a brick office building. i did not step on the gas at all. my air bags did not deploy either. | |||

| Earlier today, 6 may 2011, my mother was beggining to drive out of the bank drive-thru window when her vehicle took off on its own until she was able to crash it against a wall to avoid impacting other cars and people that were in the area. this is the second incident for this vehicle, a few months ago, again just beggining to move, sped out of control impacting the neighbors home. the vehicle was taken to a local suzuki dealer for a mechanical evaluation, but nothing unusual was found. that same suzuki dealer has been the only place where services have been performed on that suv and i don't buy for a second that nothing is wrong with the vehicle, especially after a second incident. | |||
