I was pulling into a parking spot when i felt my 2016 cadillac srx suddenly accelerate. i tried to hit my brakes but they didn’t work & I crashed into a concrete wall. I broke my wrist & had to have surgery. Everyone thinks I hit the gas instead of brakes but I most definitely did not. Anyone else have this problem?

They think that because that is the most likely reason . Modern vehicles will reduce the engine when applying the brakes . Yes , other people have this problem and most of the time it is driver error.
