My 4 year old son has the Kobalt ride on [REDACTED] toy. We have had this [REDACTED] toy since Christmas of 2020. About a month ago I noticed that sound system on the toy was malfunctioning. Even if you would turn the volume down it would automatically then turn itself back up to max volume. This was the first electrical incident. Then the remote no longer would turn the wheels right and left, but would only control the vehicle forward and backward. The MAJOR electrical incident is when the vehicle propels itself forward (and backward) even when a child does not have a foot on the go pedal. We have a large hill off the back of our driveway that leads into the woods. The vehicle took my son down this hill and into a tree, he was very upset, scared and crying, but thankfully unhurt. Once I reached the bottom of the hill to comfort him this is when I noticed that the vehicle was still trying to go forward even without someone pressing down on the pedal, there was no one in the vehicle but it was still trying to go forward. It will do this wether you are in the forward or reverse mode. The only way to fix the issue was to power off the vehicle.
