Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While increasing in speed of about 5 to 10 miles per hour the car continued to increase in speed, applied brakes, but continued to pick up speed, applied emergency brake still didn't slow down. The car increased in speed up to 95 miles per hour. I'm not sure what I finally did or what happened to slow the car down. This is the third time that this has happened, I even tried reaching down and lifting gas pedal, to no avail.”
NHTSA complaint #708207, filed 1999-07“Throttle cable contains strong spring incased within plastic cylinder. As age/heat degrades the plastic tabs holding cylindr closed, allowing the tabs to break off, enabling full force of spring to unleash and pull cable housing away from throttle body.”
