What owners wrote
When approaching a 4-way intersection during daylight hours, the light turned yellow then red. I tried to stop by pressing my brake pedal. My vehicle did not slow down, but continued to accelerate up hill. I pressed as hard as possible but my vehicle went through the intersection and I ran into the side of another vehicle. I was originally going about 30MPH and when I hit the other vehicle, I was going about 25MPH. My vehicle stopped after hitting the other vehicle but continued to rev higher.
