What owners wrote
Stopped with my foot on the brake waiting to pull out on the hwy. I had been there already about 1 minute, when all of a sudden the car accelerated which caused me to hit the vehicle in front of me (18 wheeler). It was as if your car is in park and you rev your engine. It wouldn't stop with the brakes. It seemed I had no control of my vehicle and it took off on its own. I have since read others having similar experiences of "taking off" or going from 2 RPM to 4 without their foot being on the gas.
The vehicle burns oil at a very fast pace, the vehicle also goes into power reduced morning with a vehicle can only go to 20 MPH, when cutting the vehicle off it hesitates to turn off and shakes wants the engine fully shut down.
