Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On sept 17, 2009 as I rolled to a stop in a parking lot, I applied the brake and the car, which was four feet from a brick building, suddenly lurched ahead. The car hit the brick wall, and the engine did not return to idle until I took my foot off the brake pedal. What had happened is this: the floor mat which has no restraints, had crept up causing a lower foldover, and pushed up sufficiently to cause a foldover of the upper part of the mat . This created a three layer thickness of the floor mat entrapped between the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. …”
