Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While sitting in drive ie: at a light the car will start to race and then accelerate and take off the brakes will not stop the car. the only way to stop the car is to put throw it into park. the first two times it happened i thought it was something i had done. however on the third time while pulling out of my driveway the car took off and shoot across the street i was only able to stop it after entering my neighbors' front lawn. i was very fortunate that no cars were coming down the street and no children were nearby. however it did take down part of my driveway fence. of course it was taken back to the dealer they couldn't find anything wrong . then a week and a half later it happens again while sitting at a light twice. the dealer had my car since thurs and can't find anything wrong i'm afraid to go and get it. *ak
