“I was in the school drop off line to drop of my child and I was waiting with my foot on the brake with the car in gear and it lunged forward I applied the brakes harder and the car stopped, it began to rev loudly so I put it in park and the revving subsided and it didn't lung again. This particular event seemed like a one off, but with the event that followed I thought it would be a good idea to report this event as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10714435, filed 2015-05, 61,450 miles“I was pulling into a spot in a parking lot and pressing down the brake to stop when the car suddenly started accelerating by itself. I was pressing the brake so the car did not move much but the engine was pushing hard enough that the car moved forward a couple feet. I shifted the car into park and it stopped moving. I was definitely not pushing both pedals and the floor mat was definitely not stuck under the accelerator or out of place in any way (it has not been moved in months). It had never happened before and has not happened since. …”

I had to struggle to keep the van from hitting the vehicle in front of me. I was pressing the brake pedal with everything I had. I put the van in park and turned it off. I was stranded in the middle of the road. I was to afraid to turn it back on and drive it. There was a nice man who pushed me onto a side street, were I waited for my husband. This happened once before. I will file a separate form for that incident.”

Could not get vehicle to accelerate using the gas pedal. Finally came to a complete stop. After several minutes of the slow speed (3 to 5 minutes) then the complete stop switched the cruise control off and was able to slowly accelerate again. Vehicle maintained 1500 to 2000 rpms the entire time of the incident. The engine did not race nor did it stall. No warning lights came on. …”
