Consumer Description

I WAS PARKED. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. AS I STARTED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD. I PRESSED THE BRAKE HARD TO STOP THE SURGE. IT SCARED ME. THE NEXT DAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SEVERAL TIMES. IN REVERSE AND DRIVE, I WATCHED THE RPMS GO UP WITHOUT MY FOOT TOUCHING THE THROTTLE. THIS IS SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE! *TR
