What owners wrote
We were driving like every morning to our work and when we try to pass the intersection we have to stop on a yield sign to let the other traffic pass. When I try to hit the accelerate all the lateral air bags exploded without reason and the1st thing we thought was that someone hit us. I try to move the car and the car wasn't running at all also I cannot stop it so I have to turn in off.
The vehicle when in drive at any speed does a jerking motion forward as if it is slipping gears or losing power to the transmission. The sensation is worse, physically moving my body forward, when driving at higher speeds, 60-70. I know the problem was not due to "bad gas" because the car was idling relatively well. It was not electrical due to the fact that you could release your foot from the gas and "coast" and the sensation stopped.
