What owners wrote

When approaching a red light going slow speed and slowing down, car suddenly accelerated as if it was regaining cruise control speed, therefore slamming into the car in front of me. Pressing on break did not help. Is this a recall issue? I see others on here with same issue. I received a citation. Car was totaled. This is not right.
