NHTSA complaint #10504072, filed 2013-03, 165,000 miles“I was parking my truck in my apt parking structure after work on 9/14/02, upon finding a parking space I made a 3 point turn to get into the parking space. I reversed then stopped and placed the truck in drive as I was about to pull forward into the parking space. At that point I barely touch the gas expecting to coast into the space and then suddely the motor just started revving up. I didn't think twice and just jumped on the brake with both feet but the truck wouldn't stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #766427, filed 2002-08“The gas pedal sticks intermittently while the vehicle is in motion. That is, while driving normally, and I press on the gas pedal to accelerate the vehicle, the gas pedal will not release after I have taken my foot off the pedal. The depressed pedal will remain in this position until I have pumped it several times. Only after I have repeatedly pumped the gas pedal will it be released and returned to its normal position. While pumping the pedal, I must simultaneously apply the brake to decelerate the vehicle.”
