After starting the engine, when pulling out from my driveway and put the gear in reverse to pull out, the vehicle accelerates on its own without my foot pressing the accelerator. so brake has to be applied immediately to slow down the vehicle. it shoots forward with out me accelerating.. it accelerates at about 25-30 miles per hour without me once again accelerating it so we had to brake all the way from the house to the place of work. we have had several new cars including mercedes benz and never have had this problem. as i go on the street the vehicle continues to accelerate without me accelerating it. there is also a burning smell when the car is started. . we took the vehicle into the dealer and they were no help at all..
