“On saturday, february 9, 2019, at about 5.45 p.m. I was driving my vehicle with my wife as the front seat passenger. The driving conditions were good and we both had our seat belts on. There were no distractions in the car. I just got off the westbound 118 freeway at the southbound topanga canyon blvd. Off ramp. I turned left and brought my car to a complete stop as there were other cars in the outer lane (closest to the curb.) the car rolled forward by a couple of feet despite my right foot being on the brake pedal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180881, filed 2019-02, 35,000 miles“I was calmly driving slower than 35 MPH on a city street when the car suddenly slowed down and stopped responding to the accelerator pedal. When I tried to step on the gas I heard a big explosion-like sound. Then all of a sudden the car accelerated to what seems like over 100 MPH and the breaks did not work despite me pressing the breaks several times. I shot into 3 cars ahead of me that were at the red light. The other cars received substantial damage; I saw that others were injured. My car was completely damaged/crushed in the front and a fire had broken out. …”
