THE ENGINE RACES ON ITS OWN. WHEN STOPPING WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT STOP INSTEAD ENGINE STARTS RACING AND CAR ACCELERATES FORWARD. ONLY ABLE TO STOP IT BY SLAMMING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL OR TURNING OFF ENGINE. HAS ALSO DONE THIS WHILE AT A TOTAL STOP, CAR IN PARK, WITH FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR NOT ON BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHOOK THE WHOLE CAR AND SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS GOING INTO ORBIT. HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND A CAUSE.
I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE, FOOT ON BRAKE, IT ACCELERATED AND I HAD ROOM SO JUST TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES LETTING IT CONTINUE IN THE LANE. OTHER TIME SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN ON GRAVEL ROAD GOING 25, PRACTICALLY STANDING ON BRAKE PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. ABLE TO STEER IT AROUND THE CORNER AND TURN ENGINE OFF. HAS ALSO DONE THIS TWICE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PARK GOING INTO OUR SHOP WHERE WE PARK IT. WE WERE CHARGED NEARLY $3000 FOR NEW BRAKES AND LABOR, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE DAMAGE, WORKING WITH DEALER TRYING TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS NONE OF THIS WAS OUR FAULT. HAPPENED IN BOTH 2019 AND 2020. VERY SCARY WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR BUT DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR
