| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is a brand new car, my first problem with the car happen when it had about 1,300 miles. when i go to accelerate car (press on the gas) the car does not respond, but then "lurches" forward at a high rate of speed, requiring me to slam on brakes. when the brakes are applied to stop the car, it then shakes and stops or almost stops working. this has happened to me 4 times since buying my car in december, 2001.once, near my home, the car started lurching at a very high speed--when my foot was not on the gas, and i almost hit a small child in our neighborhood. this car gives no forwarning and if i turn the motor off and let it rest for several hours, it begins to drive normally again. this car is unsafe, in that it is hard for me to control when it mysteriously accelerates at high speeds and then stops running. i have taken the car in 3 times for repairs, and once a different computer part was replaced, etc. but the problem persists. the other times i experienced this prbolem was on downtown bridge, and on inner city streets. each time, i was lucky not to have injured myself or others. please note that very similar problems have been recorded for this same make and model for the year 2001. *ak |
