What owners wrote
3 incidents of unintended acceleration - each time I was turning left into a parking space slowly when the engine rev'd and the car lurched forward. The 3rd incident ended with my car speeding through a plate glass window. The dealership assumes that I hit the accelerator instead of the brake. I definitely did not. I applied the brake and was gliding into the parking spot. When the car sped up. The brake failed to stop it.
I was driving home on I-80 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. I would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. Rpms would go to 4000. The vehicle began to slow. I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The auto shop who assessed the car said the transmission went out.
