Went to park car in parking lot applied brake, car accelorated went over curb down hill and hit telephone poll. Tried to apply brake but car kept accelorating would not stop,.
Motor mounts bust causing shaking alot of reports on youtube. Airbag passenger turns off at times no apparent reason. Sometimes with bag in seat or nothing at all. Motor mounts are bad in these cars won't last 100 thousand miles bolts break if it doesn't get fixed automatically. Antioch brake system slides when slammed on breaks in no rain.
October 30, 2015 10:30am. I was in the parking lot and need to back my up about 100 feet. I put my foot on the brake, started the vehicle, I put the car in reverse, removed my foot from the brake, did not put my foot on the gas pedal, the car began to move in reverse, I had my foot on the brake with light pressure to slow the vehicle speed, after a few second the engine unexpectedly revved and accelerated, I pressed on the brake firmly, engine continued to rev, I placed shift into neutral, the engine continued to rev, I pressed on the gas pedal quickly released it, the rpm fell to normal operating idle. A about two week earlier I was driving at about 40mph in straight direction on a 4 lane divided city street under dry conditions and the engine accelerated. I was startled and instinctively pressed the brake hard. Realizing this was not going to slow the problem I shifted to neutral. The rpm fell to normal operating idle. I do not remember if I pressed the accelerator when the vehicle was in neutral. I finished my drive of about 2 miles to my home. I am the original owner. The vehicle has been driven 33,000 miles. I have not contacted the manufacturer or the dealer as of this writing.
My engine coils were misfiring and the car shuddered. I had the coil that was misfiring replaced, however now a second coil is misfiring.
Repeated engine misfires causing vehicle to die unexpectedly. Since late 2013 (approx. 75,000 miles), the engine functions erratically and all cylinders have on various occasions registered engine misfires, resulting in the vehicle dying unexpectedly - once nearly leading to an accident when it died as I pulled out into traffic. I have tried - unsuccessfully, using two different mechanics over nearly three years - to resolve the problem, but it persists, despite swapping engine coils in and out, adjusting the idle, and other proposed (but unsuccessful) solutions. Sometimes the "check engine" light comes on, at least giving me some warning, but often it does not. The problem mainly happens when the car is first turned on after sitting for a while, but it is unpredictable: occasionally this problem happens in traffic, after it has been driven for a while. .

Accelerated out of an intersection, from a stop at a stop sign, car lost power, steering. . . Coasted across intersection to a stop. Called for a tow. While waiting, attempted to start car-it started. Drove home and had it towed to dealer, examined for several days, could not find a problem to fix. Same problem just occurred while car was in motion driving at approximately 30 miles per hour. Car suddenly lost steering/power. Got car to side of road. Again, it restarted on its own after a few minutes. Weather conditions cold and dry.
