“I was driving on the highway and my car suddenly vibrate really heavy and then the car suddenly started to rapid decelerate no dash board warning light. The car would not accelerate and I have to quickly try to pull off the side of the road. The car never stall. I have shut the car off and restart it and it seems fine again and may not occur for awhile. I took it to the dealer as this is the third time it happen to me on the highway.”

“I was driving my vehicle on a state highway with no breakdown lane, only a 'soft shoulder' going about 70 MPH in the middle lane. There was a vehicle in front over me going about 65 MPH and the furthest left lane was moving closer to my speed. When there was an opening, I signaled and began changing lanes when the vehicle began jerking and losing power. There was a car approaching fast in that left lane and also the vehicle that was behind me in the middle lane began closing in. I nearly caused a three car pile up trying get over to the soft shoulder. …”

“On january 8, 2017, I was pulling into a parking spot in a local hardware store's parking lot and the car started to accelerate on its own accord. I had to press down on the brake pedal hard to stop the car, while all the time the car was still aggressively accelerating on its own. Thinking my foot had inadvertently been pushing on the gas pedal while also braking, I pulled my foot off of the brake pedal momentarily, but this caused the car to lurch forward and actually jump the curb with the front wheels. …”

I applied my brake and instead of stopping the car kept on accelerating (lunging) forward and finally hit the car in front of me. I was going slowly and there was no damage. The driver of the hit vehicle got out to inspect the damage and while he was looking, the car lunged forward again, almost hitting him. …”
