Example complaints

“This happened twice in the last week. While accelerating the gas pedal has gotten stuck and the vehicle increases with speed. In a panic I shifted the transmission into neutral; the engine kept revving. As I continued to attempt to un-stick the gas pedal I noticed it was all the way down to the floor. After about 20 seconds it finally un-stuck when I stomped on it several times. This happened first on a public street and last while entering the highway.”

“Dt: the vehicle speed control failed. When starting vehicle had to apply additional pressure on the accelator, it seemed to be stuck. This only happened when putting the vehicle in park or reverse. This started happening on december 12, 2005. Dealer did look at vehicle but they were going to charge consumer for repairs. Is an NHTSA action investigation ea02015 dealt with the same problem.”
