the vehicle will lose power without warning on a regular basis. the vehicle will also accelerate unexpectedly when switching from battery to engine power at speeds under 50 mph. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer and have been informed there is nothing they can do for me, the vehicle does not have any faulty components.

Going 80 mph on the freeway with adaptive crusie control on, the car begins to jerk, and the rpm's shoot up and down. The adaptive cruise control disengages, the stabiltrack, abs, and engine light turned on and the car goes into limp mode. As I slow down, the speedometer keeps increasing up to 90. After, I inspected the driver wheel speed sensor and discovered that the sensor tip in the hub had been damaged. The anti-click washer had broken and began cutting the sensor until it failed.

After fully charged my car, I pulled out of the parking garage and into an available parking stall at work on Friday January 24th 2020 at approximately 1:50pm. I let my car cruise into the stall while my foot is covering the brakes. Halfway into the parking stall, the car accelerated on its own. I applied the brakes but did not help. It stopped only when it jumped the front concrete stall with 2 front wheels and hit the trees then rolled back. I then immediately shift the gear to park. The day was sunny and road condition was dry. I was fortunate that it hit the trees and not other cars if I were to take this out on the road. The attached pictures shows tire marks as I am trying to brake and the tire wears.
