Beetle

  • 78,000 miles
While slowly approaching a parking space in a shopping center my 2009 VW Beetle suddenly accelerated, jumping over the curb and sidewalk, and crashing into the side of the building. It then rebounded about 6-8 feet. The passenger side airbag deployed but the driver side airbag didn't.
