Car stalled (4x's at least) when making turns; stalled after passing a car when i returned to my lane with high speed traffic behind me. Have had this problem since we purchased car. Have taken to dealer several times, each time the result was "they couldn't duplicate problem", once they said they adjusted the software to correct problem, result didn't seem to improve.

While braking at an intersection the car would suddenly accelerate into the intersection. This happens often. I need to concentrate on my foot position every time i hit the brakes to make sure that my foot does not accidentally hit the gas also. For your information, i am 6 feet tall and wear a size 11 1/2 shoe.
