THE CAR ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AFTER THE 1ST. INCIDENT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED OR ENGINE IDLE WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. *TR
