When backing out of my garage I was turning to my left leave my drive in a forward direction. There was snow on the ground and as I turned and was changing direction I could feel something was not right. I was sliding sideways so I turned off the radio and the motor was revving up with out my foot on the accelerator pedal. I immediately turned off the key and after all had shut down I restarted car and had no issues after that.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 buick enclave. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle stalled without warning.

The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
On july 12, 2012 while entering the interstate the check engine light and traction stability service light came on. The car would not accelerate or shift, I could not increase speed to merge into highway traffic, as I tried to merge the vehicle slowly increased speed, not normally accelerating. I eventually was able to get to 55 MPH. The next time I drove the car it acted fine. Two days later while driving at 60 MPH on the interstate without warning the check engine light, traction stability service warning light, the ABS brake warning light all came on the brakes felt like mush, the car slowed in traffic, all while in the passing lane with traffic behind me. This created an extremely dangerous condition that could have easily resulted in serious injury or death. I eventually was able to move to the middle lane (3 lane roadway) and nursed the vehicle destination. When I started out again it acted fine w/check engine light and traction system warning light on then w/out warning while trying to enter the interstate again all gauges failed, AC shut off, cruise control power went off, the vehicle would not accelerate, would not shift, speed slowed from 30 to near 20, then systems started to turn back one at a time & was able to nurse the car home at 50 - 55 MPH, it would not shift or accelerate correctly. Took vehicle to dealer,where purchased, they had the vehicle for 2 1/2 weeks called me stated "we can not get it to act up, come and pick up car" not repaired. I asked about codes in computer, I have a copy of these, they stated they were history codes not hard codes. When I asked about them forcing me to drive a dangerous vehicle, could cause serious injury or death, they said if it acts up to bring it back. Within 12 hrs the same events occurred as listed above. I drove it to them while all warning lights were on. They still have car it has not been repaired yet.
