What owners wrote
I was pulling in to a parking spot behind a car at a very low speed when I pressed the brakes for the car to stop, instead it accelerated and smashed in to a car in front of me. I tried pressing the brakes harder in order to avoid the impact and the car did not respond.
I have a 2013 ats 6 speed . A couple weeks after I got it will stall when slowing down to make a complete stop. It stopped for about a month then it continued again. It would happen as often as twice a week to a couple times a month. My car now has over 3k miles and it still happens. I noticed I has not been as frequent as previous months but it still happens once in a while.
