| Description of the problem | While driving in a shopping center filled with pedestrians and vehicles.. The vehicle lunged forward .. I was at 1 mph or less.. This has happened frequently.. My son was in the vehicle with me at the time and ask me what i was doing.. I told him that i didn't accelerate the car.. It did it on its own.. This scared me as well as him. I have taken the car the the dealership several times to have the transmission checked.. And they say there are no codes and cant find anything wrong. |
