Description of the problem | After completing a turn and accelerating to merge into traffic, the vehicle suddenly slammed on its brakes and cut off the accelerator pedal. Every time i tried to accelerate, it would slam violently on the brakes again. As this was happening, all driver assistance warning icons were intermittently flashing on the instrument panel i coasted to the side of the road, engaged park, shut off the vehicle and restarted and it was working fine. I had the dealership look at it and they claimed it was a loose electrical connection that caused it. A few months later, the same thing happened again. This is extremely disconcerting, and in my opinion extremely dangerous. Thankfully in either incident my toddler son was not in the vehicle. |
