“The date below refers to most recent event. This has happened around 10 times since I have owned the vehicle (2007 Kia Amanti purchased new). In the most recent event I could not stop the car from running a red light, entering an intersection and nearly had a collision in the process. The problem is this: every now and then applying pressure to the brakes--which of course is supposed to stop the car--actually causes the car to accelerate dramatically--to jackrabbit I think it is called--with such force that even full pressure applied to the brakes cannot stop it. …”
