Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE PULLED AWAY AS IN DRIVING ITSELF. MY ONLY CONTROL WAS THE BRAKES. IT WAS SCARY THANK GOD NO ONE GOT HURT. ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME. I'VE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 DIFF TIMES. WHEN I PUT THE CAR ON PARK THE RPM REVS UP TO 5000 RPM I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. *TR
