For whatever reason since I got this car there is something extremely off with the laceration being a bit delayed and the car steering us extremely delicate keeping the car not steady driving in a single lane straight without going left or right is impossible. As well when extremely turning right or left steering wheel shakes a bit. I habe also just received a recall notice about my air bags

Driving at highway speed with cruise set at 60; braked & slowed to exit onto another road; when manually accelerating to get up to speed initially the car was unresponsive. Suddenly it took off out of control, as if the cruise resume was hit (it wasn't) and the brakes were non-responsive. Acceleration continued until reaching speeds over 70 MPH. Not only were the brakes non-responsive during this unexpected acceleration event, but the car was difficult to handle. I purchased this car new and it is immaculately maintained.

Driving at highway speed with cruise set at 60; braked & slowed to exit onto another road; when manually accelerating to get up to speed initially the car didn't respond to acceleration. Suddenly it took off out of control, as if the cruise resume was hit (it wasn't) and the brakes were non-responsive for several seconds. Acceleration continued until reaching over 70 MPH. Not only were brakes non-responsive but the car was difficult to handle. I purchased this car new and it is immaculately maintained. This was my first incident and was very scary.

Car acts like it doesn't want to take off, then stalling while driving, it sometimes starts to jerking. When pressing the accelerator it doesn't want to accelerate. I sometimes pull over to turn the car off to see if it would do better if I restart it, but then it starts acting like it doesn't want to crank back up.
