What owners wrote
Vehicle on several occasions has accelerated on its own while stopped, operating from 0-50 MPH going forward and also in reverse at minimal speed causing personal injury and property damage.
On this date it was unusually cold weather for our state at a high of 7 degrees plus wind chill ("the polar vortex"). I was leaving for work and had let my car run for about 5 minutes before beginning to drive. I was not even a quarter of a mile away (actually only about a street over) from my home when I stopped at a red light. There was an SUV in front of me. When the light turned green and the SUV in front of me began to drift slightly forward, I did the same.
