| Description of the problem | I simply turned on my car when the rpm and speed gauge went out of control from 0 to max in stationary mode, the car was parked in my garage spot. This process occurred several times in a row, along with this the car engine was extremely loud making roaring noises and shuddering and vibratign. When i put my foot on the brake pedal nothing happened the car continued with the rpm and speed gauge cycling from 0 to max, i did not feel safe to attempt to drive the car. Last month i had to have the car service because it would not accelerate while i was on the freeway the max speed on the car was 30 miles per hour. I got off the highway immediately and the car turned off when i parked it on the street. It took 3 attempts to finally turn on. The car did this again on a second occurrence before i could get it to the dealer, i was driving on the street and again the same issue occurred. The car stalls, jerks, vibrates on its own at random times. Each time i have had my preventive services done at the dealer the car is in near perfect condition and nothing can be diagnosed, then the car has these incidents occur with no warning. |
