What owners wrote
We pulled up at Hillgreen circle Cockysville MD To drop my boyfriend off at his apartment. I went to pull in the parking spot.I went to put the car into park and it had no brakes. I was slamming them and pumping them. It excellerated and took off. Jumped the curb,went down the hill and into the apartment building. A red light had came on the dash, right before it took off. Seemed like it was changing to gas or the electric mode,or the other way around.
Hybrid system warning lights turned on while driving on the highway, illuminated "do not drive, pull over safely". Tried to pull over safely and the car stalled and wheels locked. Could not pull over to get out of traffic.
