What owners wrote
While traveling in stop and go traffic, I was fully stopped with my foot on the brake peddle. Suddenly I heard & felt the engine of my car revving up. My car catapulted forward about 20 feet hitting the car in front of me. I applied more pressure on the brake peddle but could not stop the forward momentum of my car. Both cars sustained damage. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because she complained of head, neck & back pain.
Judder, akin to driving on the rumble strips alongside a highway. Happens when slowly accelerating between 20-30 MPH. Purchased the vehicle in 10/2016.
