What owners wrote
I put my car in reverse gear and then pressed slightly on the gas pedal. The car didn't move. I checked my hand brake and regular brake. Both were disengaged. So I pressed a little more and more. The engine began to growl like crazy and the car refused to even move. Then all of a sudden the car just launched itself. I nearly hit another car. It was very scary. I switched the car off and then tried again. This time no trouble. Similar thing happened when I was exiting a parking lot.
Engine shut down while on freeway at 60MPH speed due to turbo failure. 60,000 miles on engine. Issue caused by oil pickup screen being clogged and starved the turbos from oil, thus resulted in failure and engine shut down.
