AS I AM ENTERING A PARKING SPOT, MOVING FORWARD, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR, AND INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED QUICKLY. TRIED TO CLICK PARKING BUT THE CAR HARD STOPPED BECAUSE IT HIT THE ROCK IN THAT AREA IN FRONT OF ME. ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARKING AFTER IT HIT THE ROCK. FRONT RIGHT BUMPER DAMAGED PRETTY SEVERELY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE HURT BUT IF WE ROLLED PAST THE ROCK ALL 5 OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AS THERE IS A VALLEY INFRONT OF US. SIMILAR THING HAPPENED 10 MONTHS BACK WHEN WE ARE AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ENGINE REVVED UP AND MOVED FORWARD. WHEN WE CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID NO RECALLS AT THAT TIME.

WHILE BOTH IN CITY DRIVING AS WELL AS IN THE RULES THE CAR BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY WITH NO ONE OR NOTHING IN SIGHT. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR THERE WAS NO ONE OR NOTHING ON THE ROAD THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PEDESTRIAN INDICATOR TO CAUSE THE CAR TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND BOTH OCCASIONS THE ROADS WERE CLEAR AND ON UNOBSTRUCTED. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I AND MY HUSBAND WE'RE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD BECAUSE SETS SPONTANEOUS BREAKING CAN CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION.
