HE APPLIED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS HE COULD, BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED IT CRASHED INTO A HEAVY TOOL BOX AND SOME OTHER CONTAINERS AND INTO THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AGAIN. HE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE FORCEFULLY, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP BEFORE HE REACHED THE STREET. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. THE THIRD TIME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD IN THE MIDST OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS SPACE BETWEEN IT AND THE CAR AHEAD, SO HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE CONTACT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR AND IGNITION. HE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT BATTERIES IN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TWO HAD BAD CELLS IN THEM. *JB
