NHTSA Complaint #10875449 — 2009 SATURN OUTLOOK

WHEN I WAS ENTERING MOVING TRAFFIC FROM A COMPLETELY STOPPED POSITION, A CAR WAS COMING FASTER THAN I REALIZED SO I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: 1.ALL POWER TO MY CAR SHUT OFF AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD SLOWING DOWN. 2.ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND SYMBOLS LIT UP. 3.MY CAR JOLTED STRONGLY ONCE, SPUTTERED (MANY TIMES), AND HICCUPPED (MANY TIMES). THE JOLT WAS SO STRONG THAT IT THREW ME FORWARD AND MADE MY SEATBELT CATCH ME. 4.AT THE SAME TIME AS # 3, THE GPS REBOOTED ITSELF 3 TIMES IN A ROW AND ALL OF THE CAR DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED THEMSELVES 3 TIMES IN A ROW. 5.I GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BUT THE CAR FELT WEAK AND I FELT UNCERTAIN. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I TRIED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY SO I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS AND SLOWLY DROVE HOME.
