Sudden Unintended Acceleration: While driving up the inclining driveway to my Dr. office for my Covid vaccine, all of a sudden, my car accelerated as if someone stomped on my gas pedal! Had I not turned right into the parking lot, I would have crashed, head-on into a stone retaining wall. I pushed on the brakes to slow down and stop as I was steering my car into a parking space.

This caused my…

We were sold a car that had the odometer miles setback 101,000 miles back. Moved from 211,000 to 110,000. Refusing to take back the car.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 116,000 miles · reported Feb 9, 2020
Recently, my vehicle was found to have a rusted fuel filler neck. The rusting is toward to "top", well away from road salt and water. The problem is causing fuel fumes to escape, including directly into the passenger compartment. In my case, a full tank of fuel causes the interior fumes to be so strong that the car can not be driven. A search for a replacement filler neck showed the part is on national back-order, leading one to suspect that the problem is common.
Electrical System · at 100,000 miles · reported May 1, 2019
Car has fuel fumes very strong smelling in car. I look on this as a safety problem for me and the kids travelling in my car. But I guess people has to die first before any action is taken like the boeing airlines. The car is overheating and tgey cannot tell you why it is doing it.
