Consumer Description

AUGUST 19, 2017 I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT A VERY LOW SPEED AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO PARK. THE CAR AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATED EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR WENT THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS FENCES AND IT FINALLY STOPPED BETWEEN TWO GARAGES BEHIND MY PROPERTY ON THE NEXT STREET. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS OR WINDOWS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN.
