Consumer Description

THIS IS A 4CYL CAR WITH EASIEST. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION - THE CAR WHILE GOING DOWNHILL OR SOMETIMES UPHILL, ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR ONCE BECAUSE OF THIS. JERKING - THE CAR WHILE DECELERATING FROM 50-40 MPH TO 30-20 MPH JERKS AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL (WITH AN INTENTION OF DECELERATING) OR WHILE APPLYING BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCT 2012. *TR
