Well after the first time I disengaged it went to drive and heard a weird noise when coming to a stop which only got worse.

NHTSA complaint #11298172, filed 2020-01, 87,031 miles“I am complaining about unintended acceleration recently experienced while parking my car in a parking lot and the manufacturing cannot tell me if and when any recalls were updated on my car prior to purchase.

Within four days of taking it home after the inspection, the PCV valve went bad and I had a minor leak in the middle center top of the windshield that dripped in and left watermarks on my headliner. So again I called the dealer and explained to them what was going on. …”
