“I was pulling into a parking spot and my vehicle suddenly lurch forward, and I had to slam on the brakes quickly, scraping the front of the curb. I checked there was no warning lights. I checked the floor mat, and this was not impeding the accelerator pedal I am certainly I did not accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake.”

NHTSA complaint #11732187, filed 2026-04

“While driving in the highway I took my foot off the accelerator and despite one pedal driving being on the car did not brake. I then tapped the brake. When I then pushed the accelerator to keep up with traffic, nothing happened. I checked the screen for warning lights. The car had none. The accelerator pedal was non responsive causing a huge safety issue for me and others on the road as the car was now just cruising as I was approaching a hill..I had to turn on my hazards and get over into the shoulder of the highway along the bridge at night. I stopped the car. …”

NHTSA complaint #11573025, filed 2024-02

“My Ioniq6 slowed down to 20 mph for the second time tonight. No matter how hard I pressed on the accelerator the car would not speed up past 20 mph. A message on the dashboard said “Limit: 20 mph”. Eventually the car picked up speed then said “Limit: 43 mph”. (The speed limit on University Blvd at this point was 35 mph). I did not test that, as I was almost home. This happened around 7pm on Saturday, Nov 18, 2023. My wife was in the car with me and asked why I was driving so slowly. The first time this happened, a couple weeks ago, I don’t recall seeing a message on the dashboard. …”
