| Description of the problem | From the parking lot of a large shopping center we tried to turn onto the main road. We pressed the gas pedal and started to accelerate, went a few feet and then the car slammed on the brakes itself when we were about halfway into the lane. We then had to press on the accelerator a few times and it finally kicked in and started moving again. Thankfully no one was coming in that llane as we were stopped halfway in it. The same exact thing happened the next day and then it also happened two times in reverse backing out of a driveway. |
