A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
When I removed my foot from the brake to pull forward, and NOT having my foot on the accelerator, the engine surged and the car took off. Even though I had my foot on the brake and pushing hard enough for the VSC/TRAC light to come on and the intermittent buzzer to sound, the car would not stop. I pushed into PARK (and how was that able to happen), but the front tires continued to turn, the engine continued to rev, and smoke was appearing from the front tires due to friction.
I was only able to make the car stop by turning off the engine, but this happened at the same time as I hit the car in front of me. The damage to my car was repaired for $2000. However, the real issue is that I no longer trust the vehicle and will be getting rid of it as quickly as possible.
As a side note, the brakes on the car are new (less than 4 months old).
