What owners wrote

Park N Fly Mississauga Canada. Vehicle in parked position. Vehicle reversed from position and driven for 50-75 feet. Driver made a left turn and within two seconds the vehicle started accelerating on its own. Driver’s head and hands bounced off the steering for a brief moment and then returned. Engine could be heard revving continuously in an increasing manner. Nothing on the gas pedal nor was it manually depressed.

July 2015 CrashInjury

While coming to a stop the car started to accelerate on it's own. I put more pressure on the brake, but would not hold, I put the car into neutral and turned off the key. When I restarted it was ok but my air bag light was on. When I got home I parked and pressed the key remote to lock, the doors locked but the lights did not flash. I then restarted the car, shut it of and relocked. This time the lights flashed but after about 30 sec. The car alarm would sound.
