I have experienced 4 incidents of the car accelerating on its own. I have taken it to the dealership twice and they are unable to reproduce the problem. Problems began occurring in 2025 and occurred again this past week (August 20246). In the most recent incident I was accelerating on an "on ramp". The car suddenly took hold and continued to speed up despite my foot not being on the gas. I had to drive the car to safety with my foot on the break. The moment I took my foot off the break it would speed up. The floor mat was not touching the gas in all of the instances of this occurring. The gas pedal was not stuck to anything. I nearly avoided a serious accident as where i was trying to merge was running out of a lane and a cement block was in front of me. I was also with an infant and 2 year old in my car. There have been no warning messages when this occurs.

Vehicle loses power, my vehicle stop on the highway going 55 miles per hour, I came very close to being rear ended. My vehicle consumes excessive fuel, the vehicle quicks back upon acceleration. This causes a great concern as I used my vehicle for work. I attempted to have the dealer resolve this and I was told that there was nothing they could do. However, this faulty performance might cause a traffic accident and I could also involve the life of myself or another individual in the vicinity of my vehicle. The vehicle also has a late start which is also a problem while driving. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle as I fear for my life and the life of others.
