Afraid to drive my vehicle. I took the vehicle in under warranty because the car lost power on the off ramp from the highway. The air conditioning shut off, and I then noticed nothing on the car was working, brakes, steering, engine!! the dealer could not duplicate the issue. This past Friday it happened again at rush hour and my wife almost got into a serious accident. I am now out of warranty and have a car I am afraid to drive. I have found some other posts of this issue, but no resolution. This should be a recall for safety and if they cannot fix, the car should be replaced.

0N more than five occasions the vehicle has accelerated when coming to a stop. I've had to hit the brakes and shift into neutral to get the RPM's back to normal.the last 2 times my wife has been with me in the car, she now refuses to ride in the car. I've had the car in for repairs three time specifically for that problem. The car will run fine for a short time then all of a sudden the same old problem of accelerating when slowing down or coming to a stop. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and would like the lease terminated a.S.a.P.
