Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My wife was driving through town with our daughter and her parents and as she was coming out of town started to press on the accelerator to get up to speed. All of a sudden the accelerator pedal went to the floor and the throttle was wide open and the pedal was hanging there and was inoperable. Fortunately she wasn't going very fast and was able to put the vehicle in neutral and use the brakes to slow down enough to get off the side of the road and get the vehicle stopped and then her father was able to get under the hood and get the engine to stop revving. …”

If I would turn it off it would work fine. It would not do it all the time - it cost about 537.00 to fix it. And it was a pres control solenoid.”

Owner tried to stop the minivan and could do so only by jamming on the brake with both feet while operating the vehicle up an inclined exit ramp.”
