Consumer Description

CAME TO STOP AT BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE I HAD THE CAR'S BATTERY SERVICED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. IN ADDITION, THE CAR WILL SPORADICALLY NOT GO INTO REGENERATION MODE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN. THIS ALSO JUST STARTED HAPPENING SINCE THE BATTERY SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.
