I had to make complete sudden stop when I had to put on the brakes quickly to avoid wreck. I was in the fast lane and when I went to start to go again it didn't want to accelerate again. I had to pull over to shoulder and shut off car and restart it. If this is a safety feature than its not a good one since you need to be able to go in the fast lane. It could of resulted in somebody to wreck in the back of me. I have had the computer resetting as result of I believe speed control issue or whatever the last recall was. I was on the interstate going at a decent speed when I made sudden stop.

The car was parked on a quiet neighborhood street and there was nothing remarkable about the weather conditions. After starting the engine and putting the car in drive, the engine accelerated spontaneously and uncontrollably in very little time, causing the car to crash into a building after only a few seconds. The car traveled a very short distance but witnesses said that the car continued to accelerate as it approached the building. The driver had intended to make a right turn but was unable to do so due to the velocity ithe car was traveling. The crash was not due to driver error. The driver sustained very serious injuries and was hospitalized. The driver will need extensive rehabilitation. The car was totaled. The crash occurred in the afternoon.
