Example complaints

“I was stopped and entering a turn. There was no ice on the pavement. As I turned left the car accelerated and the brakes became unresponsive. The car spun and hit a fire hydrant. This car at other times as suddenly accelerated, but I was always able to apply the brakes and it calmed down in a few seconds.”
NHTSA complaint #10499578, filed 2013-02, 29,000 miles“Unintended acceleration. It happened about 6 times in 4000 miles. Transmission overhaul one time, next time dealer could not find any thing wrong,however it happened two days later and I will bring it back to dealer for the third time about the same problem. Whoever experiences this difficulty don't accept anyone telling you the accelerator was being pushed or the carpet was sticking.
