It happened twice already when I step on the break pedal the car goes accelerated feels like you step on the gas pedal that is the problem the first incident I stopped and parked next to the gate because I need to put the code of the gate to open then when I come back to my car and step on the break to release the transmission from P parking 🅿️ then the car goes accelerate too fast almost hit the gate good thing I release the break pedal then hit again or step again the break pedal. The second time I was with my wife she’s parking backward then the car goes accelerated backward. She just stepped on the break pedal. And if we’re driving in the freeway if we break it didn’t stop right away it will still slide for how many meters
