“Car began to accelerate after starting and put into gear. I didn't touch the accelerator pedal, nor was the floor mat touching the pedal. I had to put the car in neutral and shut it off. After shutting off and restarting, it did this 3 more times. It accelerated while still in park, almost to 3000 RPM before I shut it off. Fourth time, it restarted without any problems.”

“On july 4 2017 at approximately 7:30am et I was waiting to park and had my foot on the brake when suddenly the engine revved and accelerated, moving the car forward and crashing into the passenger rear bumper of a parked ford f-150. I pressed even harder on the brakes and the car continued to move forward as if it was sliding on ice; it created tire skid marks from my front tires - supporting that the brakes were engaged. I attempted to put the car in neutral and the engine continued to rev faster. …”

“Unintended acceleration of vehicle after removing foot from gas pedal. After starting my car and backing up, I put my vehicle into drive. Before I put my foot on the gas pedal, the car began to accelerate by itself without the speed registering on the speedometer or the RPM's registering on the tachometer. No warning lights appeared and continued to do this even after coming to a complete stop. The current mileage is 41000 miles, and has had regular maintenance performed. I am an ase certified technician and could find no reason for this to occur.”

“I got into an accident in october 2019 where I was rear ended and carried into another vehicle but my air bags did not deploy although my headrests did deploy but prior to the accident my car would fishtail when making turns when the roads were wet and while driving on the highway trying to merge into traffic my car loses acceleration all on its own and then gradually picks up speed again I've almost got hit several times because of this. Also my car has shut off on its own in traffic with heavy traffic it was very scary we didn't know what was happening to the car and this has happened twice. …”

“The vehicle accelerate on it on when is in park gear. I turn off the engine to stop the acceleration of RPM, I turn off engine when I saw it goes up to 6000 RPM, which I believe it could continue to raise. The vehicle also accelerate on it on when it in drive gear ( local and highway ), I safely pull over, put in park gear ( still accelerate ) and turn off engine. Overall it happen once a month since 2017, but 2 weeks ago ( 08/07/2017-08/13/2017) it happen twice. I bring it in dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with it using computerize test.”
