Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I pressed on the gas pedal and the throttle cable didn't return to idle when I let off the pedal. The brakes would not stop the vehicle nor would pressing on gas pedal. Turning off the ignition is the only way to stop acceleration. I drove out of control through two peoples yards before coming to this conclusion.”
NHTSA complaint #10380043, filed 2011-02, 125,000 miles“Dt: the contact stated while traveling on the highway the rpms revved as high as the gauge would allow. The vehicle accelerated and the brakes would not stop the vehicle. Was finally able to get the vehicle to slow down by depressing the brake pedal very hard. The contact drove the vehicle home, checked the engine ,and discovered the rubber boot in the throttle body was melted. The boot was removed by the contact and this remedied the problem.
