On December 27, 2023, vehicle was taken to the service center of the dealership where it was purchased. The primary concern was that the car would at times suddenly launch forward and increase in speed on its own. Employees/repairmen test drove the vehicle, scanned the codes and the concern was not duplicated.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ABOUT 30 MPH AND PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND PRESSED THE BRAKES. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. IT STARTED LURCHING FORWARD, ACCELERATING. I HAD TO KILL THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IT'S TERRIFYING.
