On: city street, in stop and go traffic. Upon pulling off from a dead stop, the vehicle began jerking, then accelerating uncontrollably. I could not slow the vehicle with the brakes. If I had not moved the gear selector to neutral, I would have hit the car in front of me. Abs, anti-skid, and traction warning lights came on, and I barely had enough power to pull off to a safe place. After sitting a few minutes, I was able to drive the vehicle safely to the dealer. Dealer replaced right rear wheel speed sensor under warranty with what they called an "improved part", but there are three more speed sensors. *dt
