0N MORE THAN FIVE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I'VE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET THE RPM'S BACK TO NORMAL.THE LAST 2 TIMES MY WIFE HAS BEEN WITH ME IN THE CAR ,SHE NOW REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIME SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL RUN FINE FOR A SHORT TIME THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SAME OLD PROBLEM OF ACCELERATING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE THE LEASE TERMINATED A.S.A.P.
