What owners wrote

Consumer placed vehicle in reverse and vehicle took off backward, hitting a truck. Dealership was aware of problem.

May 2002 Crash

Vehicle lunged forward. I was unable to control speed due to lunging and stalling. Does this with or without the air condition on and only upon acceleration. Does not matter if it is on an incline or not-always upon acceleration. Very unsafe and I am very worried as I travel alone with a toddler in this daily.
