Consumer Description

RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT DEALER. STARTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN REVERSING. BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY. IF I CUT IT OFF AND TURN IT ON IT GOES AWAY. CAR JUMPS (ACCELERATES) DURING DRIVING. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHERE I AM DRIVING. RUN SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC ON STEERING WHEEL AND EVERYTHING COMES BACK OKAY. PURCHASED CAR FOR A FAMILY CAR AND UPSET THAT THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.
