description: THE AUTO ON SEVERAL, SPORADIC OCCASIONS HAD AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, WHILE SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC. WHILE SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC, THE RPMS WOULD START TO INCREASE, GOING TO 6000 RPMS BEFORE I GEARED IT BACK DOWN AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THEY KEPT IT COUPLE OF DAYS EACH TIME, THEY TOLD ME, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT, IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BRING IT BACK, SENDING ME AWAY IN A UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME, DATE MENTIONED ABOVE, A SERVICE TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE MY CAR, THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND HE TOTALED OUT MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL 2 DAYS LATER THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD, IT HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE, I WAS NOTIFIED ON SEPT 13, 2013, THAT WOULD HAVE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRING ON SEPT.12,2013, WHEN IN FACT IT OCCURRED ON SEPT. 11, 2013. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT THIS VEHICLE, DID INDEED, HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, WHICH THE DEALER HAD INFORMED ME, HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE VEHICLE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE PROBLEM FIXED, THE FIRST TIME, INSTEAD OF THE DEALERSHIP, SENDING ME AWAY EACH TIME IN A UNSAFE VEHICLE. VERY UNETHICAL OF THE DEALER, FOR TELLING LIES ABOUT THE CAR,AND, THE CORRECT DATE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, NOT NOTIFYING ME FOR 2 DAYS, THAT IT OCCURRED, AND.NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, AS SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTED OF THEM, THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, AND SENDING ME AWAY EACH TIME IN A UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR
