What owners wrote
Exiting on off-ramp... Accelerator stuck... When I removed foot from brake car accelerated as the wheels were turned... Almost went into spin... Turned wheels in opposite direction as brakes were applied... After spin was under control... Brakes were released then accelerator kicked in and vehicle sped up while wheels were turned and collided with wall on the other side of the vehicle...
Starting before may 2015 and lasting until 11/19/15, the yellow warning dashboard lights, gauges, and dic would occasionally go berserk while driving. The first time this happened, I was on an interstate around 8am in the morning in may of 2015. At the same time during these episodes, the shifting of the automatic transmission would be jerky.
