Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Depressing the accelerator pedal causes the vehicle to hesitate for one-half to one full second and then lurch forward, suddenly. This is a safety risk when changing lanes or accelerating to avoid a collision. The dealer's mechanic indicated (twice) that they have had problems with this model's electronic accelerator, and that an internal computer is supposed to learn from the drivers' habits and adjust the acceleration accordingly. An accident can easily occur when expected power is denied upon depressing the accelerator.”
