I do not believe it is related to the current acceleration/floor mat issue nor my stepping on the brake and accelerator at the same time but i…

I feel the cars is unsafe to drive. *tr

It is not a "sudden acceleration" problem, but a sudden free-wheeling problem, most noticeable when driving on level or downhill roads. As you brake to come to a…
