“Brakes activate when turning and I pushing the gas pedal one year after I purchased this car , I noticed the brakes would active when I am making a right turn.it was either raining or beginning to snow. The car would brake as I was making a turn while I giving it gas to turn. Happened at least 3 times while I was turning on a main road. This could have been a life threatening event. Imagine a car coming at you and your gas pedal is not responding while at the same time your car is braking. A very scary scenario. I took it to the dealer. …”
