What owners wrote
Parking brake would not release. Took out owners manual, and it stated that brake may freeze up at times. Consumer put car in park and got out to reach lever, when consumer pulled lever, vehicle lurched shifting into reverse, right front tire rolled over consumer's leg, and vehicle hit a parked car before coming to a stop. Consumer has yet contact the dealer. Consumer still has not recovered completely due to the severe tissue damage done to the leg and both feet. *slc
The car while turning intermittently dies and looses any acceleration stalls and most of the time starts back up when lifting foot of the gas and sometimes dies. Also the car accelerates on its own sometimes very quickly. The car stalling while making a left turn got me t-boned by someone while making a left hand turn. I'm not the only one with this problem. This defect is going to get somebody killed.
