Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The engines revs up when vehicle jumps forward. one time, when driving to mailbox to retrieve mail, caused my arm to hit window frame and bruise. four days ago i was behind a car at stop light. jumped 3 to 5 feet. could have easily hit vehicle in front of me. brought to dealership for repair. told me that it was a normal occurrence and to press hard on brake when stopped! this is ridiculous. i believe i was applying enough pressure and the engine shouldn't behave as though i have suddenly gassed it. i am afraid of this vehicle! don't feel safe. also chokes when accelerating to merge onto freeway. tried to trade in in nov. dec. but wanted me to pay addtional $3,000. please help. thankstried to. *ak
