| Description of the problem | Our concrete drive is at a small incline-i went to put car in our garage -i had overhead garage door open-i started car and the wheels squealed leaving tire marks on concrete as it jumped forward-when i hit brake pedal it accelerated more. This was one of about 7 cases where car for no reason accelerated and jumped forward without any warning-when this happens the tires always squeal leaving tire marks on surface. In oct. 2012 i was at a 4 way stop light-light was red and without any warning car jumped forward and 2 cars had to take action to miss my car as it ran through the stop light-other cars were blowing their horns-thank god we did not crash. This condition is extremely serious i have reported these cases to krenzen where i bought car but they claim there was never a case reported such as this. I asked them to make a report on it. I find many cases on the internet like my case. |
