Description of the problem | On more than one occasion when accelerating from a stopped position, the car will lurch forward when pressing the gas, but not equal to the depression of the accelerator pedal. I bought this car 8 months ago and it has happened many times. One incident i believe when this happened caused me to damage personal property. Inwas stopped behind a car waiting to get to a gate key pad. When i started to pull forward the car suddenly accelerated and i hit the key pad, ran over it! This sudden acceleration is not typically a hazard when on the open road, obviously this was an issue with a solid object in front of me. |
