“Similar to recent GM problem, when driving, my knee touches the ignition switch, which then shuts down the engine. This has happened on multiple occasions and I have been able to safely steer the car to the roadside. I am concerned that, if this happens when my wife is driving, she would not have the strength to safely control the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10576304, filed 2014-04, 75,000 miles“I stepped on the brake and put the car into reverse. I backed out of a parking space at a taco bell. I did not have my foot on the accelerator. The interlock required my foot to be on the brake. I move the vehicle with only the power supplied with the vehicle at idle (500 RPM). I brought my vehicle to a complete stop with increased brake pressure. I looked to the right where I intended to exit the parking lot. I moved the shift lever to drive. The car unexpectedly accelerated across the parking lot. I still had my foot on the brake. …”
