While backing out of a parking spot the car attempted to accelerate while my foot was on the brake pedal. This car has done a similar thing six additional times since the first incident. Things common to the incidents were that the engine was at idle speed or just above, warm outside temperature with a/c on, steering wheel being turned in 6 of 7 incidents. Electronic throttle apparently receives signal to apply too much power. Was told at dealership that adding injector cleaner with each tank of gas may help, but it has not. Replacement throttle bodies are not available and have a lead time of many months. Will a new replacement be a modified design? I'd take a mechanical throttle body any day over this mess. This is a threat to property and life. I will not allow my wife to drive this car as I feel it would be inviting a crash. Car is also not very marketable if you're trying to sell in hot weather with a demo drive while a/c is on.
