WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARALLEL PARK, THE CAR JUMPED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A BRAND NEW HEARSE IN FRONT OF A MORTUARY. APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL ONCE WITH NO RESPONSE, APPLIED AGAIN WITH A SURPRISE SURGE OF THE CAR AND CRASHED INTO THE HEARSE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. I HAVE MADE AT LEAST 3 INQUIRIES OF THE DEALER SINCE OWNING THE CAR CONCERNING THE SURGING. I WAS GIVEN THREE DIFFERENT ANSWERS, RANGING FROM USING BOTH FEET (BRAKE AND GAS), FAULTY RUG DESIGN, AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER/ELECTRIC SYSTEM. AS I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONS. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND AM, FRANKLY, AFRAID FOR MY LADY AND MYSELF TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS MUCH AS WE REALLY LIKE IT. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE ACCIDENT IS NOT THE DRIVER'S FAULT, BUT RESTS SOLELY WITH A DEFECT, OR BAD DESIGN, IN THE SYSTEM THAT CAUSES INTERMITTENT SURGING WITH THIS CAR. I WOULD LIKE ABSOLUTION FROM INSURANCE LIABILITY IN THIS ACCIDENT, AS I DON'T FEEL THE ACCIDENT COULD BE AVOIDED DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH SURGING. *TR
