Description of the problem | 2/3/2021 i was driving with my daughter today. She was driving and we were approaching a left hand turn at an intersection. We had a green light and i could see that her foot was on the brake. She started the turn with her foot still on the brake. The vehicle accelerated while her foot was on the brake and the steering wasn't responding. We hit a telephone pole. This vehicle was purchased less than 2 weeks ago and has less than 115 miles on it. This is a major safety issue. |
