What owners wrote
Stopped at railroad crossing. Train moving. 1 car ahead of me at railroad. Stop. I was completely stopped. After being stopped for about a minute my car suddenly accelerate and slammed into car in front of me pushing car forward in the side of moving train. My car also slammed into train and was reversed and stopped on railroad post. During this time I could not stop vehicle. The vehicle was traveling at considerable speed.
Upon readying for stop the vehicle surged forward. I had to put in neutral and wait until the surge discontinued. This has been going on for several months. It has become a incident that happens more often. It is very scary. A had jump happens when I put it back in gear.
