What owners wrote
I bought the car for 15k cash that day, 45 minutes later while driving home on the highway I have an option for eco mode and boost mode, I went to turn on eco mode and nothing I hit it again nothin, 3rd time the eco light came on, then I go for cruze control , 1,2,3,4 trys nothin on 5th it worked, im doing 70 on rhe hwy and its now 75 I went to hit accelerate 1 time it it flew into the back of another person , and instantly when I hit accelerate the gas pedal was floored and didnt have time to turn off.
When at a standstill or moving at low speed, when the accelerator if fully depressed it intermittently does not stop accelerating despite the removal of pressure on said accelerator. This causes the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably. Only by constantly engaging the accelerator in a violent manner does the vehicle finally cease accelerating.
