Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My foot was on the accelerator and I attempted to pass the car in front of me and the accelerator pedal stuck. I had to apply the brakes hard to stop. When I applied the brakes the accelerator pedal snapped back up. This happens infrequently but it has happened multiple times since I have owned the car. I purchased it in 2006. The computer was replaced in 2007 because this was happening more frequently between 2006 and 2007.”
