It was a miracle I made it to the side of the road as vehicles including tractor trailers whizzed by. …”

I am also unable to quickly remove myself from a dangerous traffic situation where acceleration is required. The dealer confirmed the problem but has been dishonest about the source of the problem and whether it has truly been repaired. …”
