“While turning into a parking space at a very low speed my engine by itself accelerated very fast and I immediately put my foot on the brake but this did not stop the car so I put it into reverse and kept my foot on brake the car continue to accelerate very fast but eventually stopped. My car was totalled as it hit the car in front of me which hit the car on it side when I was going forward, when it was in reverse I did not hit any cars. Luckily no one was in the cars I hit and I did not get hurt. There was a witness who saw my brake lights on when my car was out of control accelerating.”
NHTSA complaint #11011321, filed 2017-07, 57,000 miles“In traffic..truck in front of me, applied brakes and did not have any.,.stepped on gas and had no response..swerved to avoid crash..drifted into a parking lot and car came to a stop after several minutes started car and slowly drove home. As car unable to go more than 20 MPH..not the first time..twice before...was driving and again no brakes...gas pedal not responsive...no warning lights on dash at any time. Taken to dealer twice...they could not find anything wrong. I am afraid I will be killed or will kill someone because I can't control the car as I never know when this will happen.”
