This is about the 4th time this has occurred. I will be trying to stop at a stop light (3 times), or parking lot (happened yesterday), and I put on the brakes and it tries to accelerate hard (and seems like it is trying to crash into the car in front of me). Each time it was revving up hard to go (without gas pedal being pushed), I put foot on brake but couldn't hold the car back, then I put on both feet and still couldn't hold it, so I jerked it into park (the engine revved up very hard and loud), then I cut off key. It shook me up each time because I could have crashed.

I don't know if there is a recall on this problem, or what causes it. I'm afraid that if I take it to the Suzuki dealer to be fixed, it won't do the rev up when they have it, since it happens randomly.

This was the 3rd time it occurred that the engine revved up and tried to go forward while I was at a stop light, and I had both feet on the brakes (not pushing gas pedal), but shoved it into park to prevent my hitting the car in front of me. It was very scary. No casualties, just scared because of what almost happened.

Never buy a car from suzuki because all you get is nothing but trouble and you pay more for repairs then you do for the car.
