What owners wrote
Auto accelerated unexpectedly after leaving car wash bay. Auto sped through parking lot into street and crashed into another auto traveling on a road.
From a full stop, A/C on, I began to accelerate at a green light. Car stopped acceleration at aprox. 2 miles per hour and coasted thru large intersection before accelerating again. I checked to see if the car was in drive and that the emergency brake was off. I took car to dealer who said no "error code" is available that would indicate a problem and they were unable to replicate the issue. Obviously there is an issue because another driver made this same report.
