Vehicle begins to accelerate from parking lot into traffic, but then gas pedal hits a "dead spot". Gas pedal is non-responsive. Unable to accelerate until continually depressing gas pedal 3/4 way to floor board. Then it surges ahead! problem is repeatable and in my opinion very dangerous. 1. Pulling into traffic and unable to accelerate to traffic speed. 2. Sudden, uncontrolled acceleration. I contacted the original dealership service department and they said it's normal. Have contacted another dealership and they will revisit my complaint.
The car was being driven in a residential area. The driver stopped to make a u-turn then slowly started to take her foot off the brake while moving the steering wheel to the left when the car suddenly accelerated to the right (opposite direction). The driver lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle stopped only after colliding into a street pole.
