    I pulled into a parking space. Felt the car move forward. Immediately turned the steering wheel to avoid the car directly parked in front of me. Accelerating to 25-30 miles per hour and not knowing what was happening, steered the car up the parking lane into a snow-covered field, circled and came back into another row of the parking lot. I had my foot on the brakes the whole time. When i got to the end of that row…

    The throttle body failed while i was driving about 65 miles per hour on interstate 65. This fail happened at an extremely busy portion of i-65 as you leave indiana and cross into louisville, ky. Luckily, the time of day was approximately 1:30 p.m. So traffic was rather light. If this had happened during rush hour, i would not have been able to get my car off the interstate and over to an emergency lane. Who knows…

    I attempted to park behind a parked vehicle. I backed out of a driveway approx 60' from the parked car and when i put the car in drive the engine started to race & rev very quickly (6 - 7 rpm) like the accelerator was stuck. The car raced forward and would not stop until it hit the parked vehicle. I tried to brake immediately but the car continued to move forward. I applied both feet with more pressure on the brake…

    My wife was driving home from work on the freeway when all of a sudden her vehicle went "limp". While the vehicle was in "limp' mode there was no acceleration and you can feel huge vibrations as if the engine was about to die. She was forced to maneuver her way through three lanes of traffic with her hazards on in order to get to a "safe" spot. The only way she was able to get out of the situation was to turn off…

    Since the first year, when i leased it i've had trouble with the vehicle pulling and accelerating while driving. I've taken it to the dealership many times for this and they've stated no problem, but the last time i took it they found there was a problem. Unfortunately for me whatever they did was short lived, because it's back to pulling again and the kicking, like when you get rear ended by another car. My biggest…
