My car lurches when I put it into gear, drive or reverse. When a red light turns green and I put my foot on the accelerator the car will lurch forward. I was in my garage when I started my car and my foot was firmly on the brake as I shifted into reverse with my foot on the brake the car violently lurched backwards.

When I am stopped the vehicle routinely lurches as I touch the gas. I-€™ve complained to the dealer about it and they can-€™t reproduce the problem. It does lurch for my husband also. It hasn-€™t caused any injuries or damage, so far.

A westbound distracted driver swerved into my lane at a high rate of speed and my automatic braking system slowed me to the point that I could not get out of the way of the oncoming vehicle causing my vehicle to roll over following impact (see attached hsmv crash report number 87263383).

I was pulling in to a parking space at work, mildly stepped on gas as I pulled in and placed foot on brake to stop car when I park but the car accelerated on its own, tires screeched and car went over curb and almost ran into tree. See picture attached. I slammed on the brakes and the car stopped. The sound from the inside seemed I damaged my bumper for sure but when I inspected, no damage to the car (at lease visibly). But sure is scary to drive the car now. I leased the car about a month ago and I contacted the dealer via phone and on email awaiting response.
