Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH THE CAR LUNGING BUT TODAY, JUNE 18,2012 WAS THE WORST INCIDENT. I WAS BACKING OUT IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR LUNGED SO BAD I HAD TROUBLES STOPPING IT. I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE WHEN IT STOPPED TO TRY BACKING OUT AGAIN AND IT LUNGED IN FORWARD SO HARD I ALMOST COULD NOT GET IT STOPPED AND ABOUT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE DISPLAY THEN SAID IT WENT INTO ENGINE OVERRIDE AND CUT THE POWER. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TAKEN CARE OF AND I WAS FORTUNATE I DID NOT HIT ANYBODY. *JS
