What owners wrote
The vehicle accelerated on its own when it was in park, with the emergency brake engaged, and the engine was turned off. Home security camera captured the entire incident on film. Would be happy to provide the NHTSA with the footage.
When idling or when you cold start the car it tends to have a slight shake/tremble feel all throughout the car even passengers felt it also when accelerating slowly and you hit 15 MPH car tends to shift hard into 2nd gear
