| Description of the problem | There has been two incident, in which i am driving the car and the accelerator does not respond, requiring me to make an emergency lane change to get off the road, these situation have been very frightening and i fear for my life driving such a car. The first situation occurred august 2015 , while traveling on a high way at 65mph. The car stop accelerated and i luckly made an emergency lane change without harm myself, family car or anyone else. I immediately contacted sos on my car and was told the car was safe to drive, after i restarted it. I took my car in for a repair, they did a software update an promised it wont happen again. Occurred at 1500 miles, roughly 2 month after purchasing the car. 1500 miles later, about 7 weeks, it happens again. This time on a small road, i also have video of the, car where i am not able to put the car into drive and it is stuck in neutral but can go into reverse/drive. The regeneration was at 100% and all warning light on, same thing as first time. Note i still have the video took the car in, demanded the car be repaired. Did some research determine other car have the same problem. Even the rav4 ev had a similar problem, commonality between the b-class and rav4 is the tesla battery and drive train. I believe this has happen to other peoples and this is disaster waiting to happen, this car should be recalled for all owners and repaired |
