2017 Chevrolet Volt Vehicle speed control Problems

“Driving up the freeway at a normal speed, my VOLT began to accelerate without warning and after applying the brakes again began to accelerate involuntarily.

“I purchased a new 2017 Chevrolet VOLT equipment with automatic parking assist. On november 1, 2017, I was driving on bath street in santa barbara. I decided to park on bath at pueblo street. The first time, I engaged the apa feature to assist with parallel parking, I followed the instructions on the dashboard. After coming to a complete stop, I followed the direction to shift the car into reverse.
