Vehicle Speed Control problem #1

My wife was on her way to pick up our son from school,while approaching a traffic light the vehicle would not stop. As she step on the brakes the vehicle would not stop,it seem to be accelarating. She almost rear-ended a truck, she had to run a red light,thank god the road began to go up hill and she forced the vehicle into park at which time vehicle shut down. She is 8 1/2 month pregnant, dealer cannot find anything wrong with vehicle. We do not trust vehicle any longer.

Accelerator Pedal problem #2

While driving the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and didn't change gears. The vehicle accelerated into full throttle. (two accidents had occurred due to these failures) ts the front end alignment had pulled to the left, the check engine light and the transmission had become inoperative. Scc.
