Consumer Description

WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IF YOU MOMENTARILY HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGINS FORWARD THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR SHUTS DOWN FROM 1 TO 10 SECONDS. IF YOU ARE PULLING INTO A BUSY ROAD WHERE YOU MIGHT MOMENTARILY SPIN THE ENGINE UP IN ORDER TO HAVE BETTER RESPONSE YOU ARE LEFT STUCK OUT IN THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. ALSO HAPPENS IF YOU ARE TOWING ON AN INCLINE AND YOU SPIN UP ENGINE BEFORE RELEASING FOOT BRAKE. YOU WOULD DO THIS IN ORDER TO NOT ROLL BACK. THEY SAID THE CODE SAYS YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE WITH 2 FEAT. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR
