Removed foot from accelerator to begin braking for yellow light while driving approx. 25 mph, as soon as I applied the brakes, the car surged forward as if at full throttle and did not stop accelerating until the impact from the collision. The sudden, unexpected acceleration happened two times before, each time right after I lifted my foot from the accelerator to begin braking. The accelerator had not (not) been fully depressed prior to the unexpected acceleration in any of the above incidents. Attempt to brake before collision was unsuccessful;I had recently replaced front brake pads again (after 5,000 miles) because right front brake caliper was not releasing, right pads.
1. Driving 2. Irritating ticking from passenger side of engine bay. Seems to cause wear and tear on belts on engine. So far no consequences as belt hasn't broken. 3. No part have been replaced as of yet. 4. In short it seems almost all evo ix's are affected by this belt wear on the idler pulley, power steering pulley, and possibly others. I just don't want to see one of these belts break on this performance turbo car at high speeds. . . Could cause many injuries in my opinion. Keep and eye out for many many others to send in a report in the next few days on the evo ix's as I will be posting up a link to this site on our main community site.
