Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL, SWITCH GEARS ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATE WHILE MAKING A STOP, UNCONTROLLABLY JERK WELL MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED'S AND DISPLAY MESSAGES SUCH AS DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND HAS ALMOST CREATED AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. *TT *TR
