This Problem Across All Years
When I apply brakes the car accelerates instead of stopping. This occurs randomly and not all the time. It has occurred at traffic lights or when I am at a location to park the suv. I was in a accident in May which caused damages to another car. I reported this to GM back in May of this year and they stated that they sent a engineer to inspect the car and could not find anything wrong. at that time the car had been towed to the dealership. I went and picked the car up It drove fine for a while and now its back doing the same thing again. It will run thru red lights, stop signs and doesn't stop when I pull into parking spaces, this is very dangerous, I am getting the run around with General motors. I need some one's help before someone gets injured or killed with this vehicle. I hope its not me.

THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE CAR WON'T SHIFT. IT'S DONE THIS TWICE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT THIS YEAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS CAUSED BY DRIVING "TWO FOOTED". IT WILL RESET ITSELF BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING 15 MINUTES OR SO. IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS.
