Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was approaching my left turn into the community I live in and driving about 45 MPH, I stepped onto the brake and the car engine started accelerating. There was a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction which was the reason I was trying to stop. I pushed down on the brake but the engine continued to accelerate. I shifted into neutral and the engine slowed down. This is a very dangerous situation to be in. This happened twice since I owned the vehicle. I took it to the dealer but they could not re-create the situation again.”
