“After starting the car, shifting to drive with brakes applied and slow acceleration while taking a right turn out of my parking space I lost all steering control and brakes became very hard to press as well. I managed to stop the car and put it back to park and turned off the ignition, then back on again. I didn't have the issue again. Luckily I didn't hit another car in the parking lot.”
NHTSA complaint #10534970, filed 2013-08, 65,900 miles“I was at a local drive thru window and I was stopped, my car was in park. I was beginning to leave, car in drive and I hit the passenger front right tire on the curb. So I left off the gas, turned the wheel to the left to get off the curb but the gas pedal stuck. It did not lift up! I tried to push on the brakes, but the car wouldn't stop. I finally was able to un-stick the gas pedal by shoving my foot under the pedal and lifting it up! I was forced full speed into oncoming traffic and I had my entire family in my car!! Scary, and totally unacceptable. …”
