Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While traveling at highway speeds the accelerator pedal became stuck. Vehicle continued to accelerate in a run-away mode. Vehicle was eventually stopped through combination of brakes and traveling into mud. Upon stopping it was noticed that the front brakes were flaming - most likely due to excessive heat.”
NHTSA complaint #10320625, filed 2010-03, 108,000 miles“While driving 70 MPH accelerator pedal got stuck. When the driver tapped the pedal to release it pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle sped to 100 MPH. Driver had to put the vehicle into neutral and shut the vehicle off. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10115480, filed 2005-03, 101,000 miles“Dt: the consumer stated his wife put her foot on the brake and it did not stop; it accelerated when she hit the brake and she hit two parked cars on 7-23-05. She was going approx. 3-5 MPH. This is not the first time this has happened. Previously, they had felt some pulsating in the pedal, but it became progressively worse. This is the first time they have felt it accelerate. No lights came on prior to this or previously. This occurred during normal braking, on a dry road.”
NHTSA complaint #10129873, filed 2005-07, 63,310 miles“Uncontrolled engine acceleration: without warning, the engine revved to full throttle. The car continued to accelerate even with foot off gas pedal and full brakes applied. The cause was identified as a broken accelerator cable. The breakage occurred near the gas pedal. The car had 48,000 miles. The gas pedal had been jerky intermittently on initial depression for the preceding year. Dealership servicing attributed this to a dirty throttle body, which was cleaned and deferred. But 6 weeks later, this break in the accelerator cable occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #10058614, filed 2004-02, 48,985 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Astro van. While the cruise control was set at speeds of 65 MPH, the brake pedal was applied to disengage the cruise control. However, there was no response. The vehicle continued to abnormally accelerate while the brakes were applied. There was an extremely loud roaring noise coming from the engine with an increase in the rpms. The vehicle was rapidly approaching a traffic light and the gear was shifted into neutral position. The engine was turned off. The vehicle was coasted to a stop with very limited braking power. …”
