While pulling into a parking spot and pushing the brake lightly, the car accelerated uncontrollably and struck a concrete wall. The engine revved up as if it was really taking off. It jumped a curb on the way to the wall, struck the building and then engine went back to normal running.

I was driving in the rain at about 30 miles and hour towards a red light. I began to slow down with the brakes, but the car would not stop and skidded right through the red light. I also tried steering the car to the right, but the car would not steer right and kept skidding through the red light until it slightly hit the median and stopped. Luckily, no oncoming cars were coming or my car would have went right into…

I will routinely depress the brake pedal to place the vehicle in park at the conclusion of a drive. The pedal feels normal at this point. Approximately 80-85% of the time upon re-entry in to the vehicle after allowing the vehicle…

During the drive, at this range, when accelerate, the vehicle will make a squeaky sound by the…
