While driving between 10-15 mph in city traffic the vehicle will accelerate when applying the brake. This has happened twice within a week and the dealership is unable to find anything wrong when taken in by me. I am presently scared to drive the vehicle not knowing when the event may occur again or if it could happen at higher speeds and endanger mine and other lives.
