What owners wrote
I went to a drive through car wash. Put my car in neutral and it drives your car through the wash. Once it was done I changed to drive and tapped lightly to get out. I was going to have the car wash attendant wipe down my car. As I approached him my brakes wouldn’t work and the car continued to accelerate despite not pressing down on the gas pedal. None of my electrical lights were working. It took me onto a busy street in Chicago and kept accelerating at full speed.
My car wouldn't start had my car for service. I was charged a service fee which they would tell me whats wrong with the car. I was only told the battery was an issue. That was replace. The person who attend me did not tell me anything about getting an oil change or any other problems in february. Went back in april because my car stop running turned off in the middle of the road. Went back to the same dealer I not fix cars so when I get servive for the vehicle. I would think someone would tell me otherwise but no.
