What owners wrote
After backing out of my garage, I left the car running in my driveway. The car was stationary in the driveway for about 5 minutes. After which time the car accelerated through my garage and hit me, pinning me against the wall of my garage for about 5 minutes. The acceleration then subsided and the car slightly backed up and remained stationary giving me enough room to wedge out between my car and the garage wall. I've been having intermittent issues with acceleration.
When coasting, the car idles rough and lurches forward. When stopped and pressing the gas, it takes sever seconds for the car to take off. This puts the driver at risk as it doesn't happen consistently- you can either take off right away or you're delayed. The rough idling sounds and feels as though the car is about to stall. In traffic, this presents a hazard.
