What owners wrote
My vehicle was stationary in a left turn lane at an intersection. I took my foot off the gas and pressed the gas pedal to accelerate the car through the intersection. When I pressed the gas, the car did not accelerate. I repeatedly tried to accelerate and the car seemed to not even idle because it would roll backwards when the brake was released. After a while there was some weird noises and the car did some unusual shaking.
