NHTSA Complaint #11245121 — 2017 BUICK ENCORE

POOR ACCELERATION CAUSING INCREASE IN FORCE ON GAS PEDAL. HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE ON FLAT SURFACES, GOING UP HILL, AROUND CURVES WITH AC ON OR OFF. ONCE ACCELERATION KICKS IN, SPEED INCREASES CAUSING THE NEED FOR APPLYING THE BREAKS. REQUIRES ADDITIONAL SPACE WHEN PULLING OUT ON THE ROAD TO ENSURE ENOUGH TIME TO ACHIEVE PROPER SPEED. TOOK TO CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. TECH UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE AND SINCE NO CODES OR SERVICE LIGHT, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. PICKED UP THE CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. NEXT DAY ISSUE CONTINUES. CAR WOULD ALSO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE WHEN FOOT REMOVED FROM PEDAL (ALMOST LIKE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON), PRESSED ON BREAKS WHICH DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. HAD TO MOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD & CONTINUE TRY & STOP. MADE A SECOND APPOINTMENT TO RETURN CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. AFRAID OF TRANSPORTING PEOPLE IN VEHICLE DUE TO UNKNOWN/STICKING ACCELERATOR ISSUES.
