“Pulled out of parking lot on to main road and gas pedal was pulled to floor. Engine ran full throttle while brake was fully applied and car was out of control. Car spun across and into on coming traffic over shoulder and into trees. Car came to rest against trees with engine still running wide open. Key was turned off and engine shut down. After I reached my composure, I restarted car to pull out of trees, but engine run full throttle and I shut it back down. I got out of car and opened the hood to discover that the cruise control had the throttle pulled wide open and would not release it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10186251, filed 2007-03“The following problem has existed on this vehicle since the first summer I have owned it. When I place the gear selector in reverse or drive, the car surges, the RPM drops and fluctuates, and the vehicle either turns off or settles down. At times when I'm at a stop sign, I press the gas to go and the car hesitates and either stops or surges forward so I have to keep my foot on the brake and keep pushing on the gas pedal so the car won't stall on me in the middle of traffic. This has been an ongoing problem which has never been corrected by the dealership. …”
