I was backing out of my garage. my son had his car parked behind me. i saw that i was going to have to pull up to get around the parked car. i put my foot on the brake, i then put the car in drive. took my foot off the gas and it took off at rocket speed. i wasn't completely out of my garage. the car was going so fast and i couldn't stop it. i was 6 ft from the brick wall. i was going so fast that i went through the brick wall and it didn't even slow down. it kept going took out a chain link fence. then came to a stop and died. what stopped me was all the brick and fence that was under the car. if it had not stopped it would have killed me. this happened at my home. there was no police report.
While rolling slowly, then accelerating to cross 3 lanes of traffic, mainly in local town driving, the car seems to stall and then suddenly accelerated very quickly. this has happened at least 10 times in different situations i.e.: changing lanes quickly after rolling, while waiting for an opening in traffic. have brought car back to dealer many times with the same complaint. once they said they updated the transmission. it did not help. the last time they said don't use the eco mode, it creates a slight hesitation. i'm afraid this car will kill me someday when i pull out into traffic and have be power
I was driving on a major interstate, when the engine sputtered then shut off at highway speed. no warning from the instrumentation panel until after the engine failed. after stopping in the breakdown lane, i was unable to restart the vehicle. the service department at the dealership believes the incident was caused by a defective gas tank and is recommending replacement of both the tank and fuel pump. *tr
