Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The gas pedal is stiff. Upon quick acceleration, the throttle is stuck wide open, making the engine race to maximum RPM's and the car can reach it's maximum speed. The gas pedal has to be kicked repeatedly, to get the car to deccelarate. This has occured many times over the last 5 years, but we could never duplicate on demand. I can now duplicate it on demand. I wonder if any one else has reported this problem with 1995-1998 galants ?”
NHTSA complaint #765795, filed 2002-08“While accelerating to enter the freeway, the cruise control engaged (it was not turned on) and the car began to accelerate up to 80+ MPH. I pressed the off button for the cruise control, braked and tried other measures but nothing was slowing the car down. I put the automatic transmission into neutral to try and slow the car down but that just made a loud noise and caused minor damage to the transmission. I finally had to turn the ignition off to slow the car down. When I turned the car back on, it again took off and started accelerating on its own.”
NHTSA complaint #745881, filed 2001-05“While driving vehicle suddenly acclerated due to the throttle being stuck. Also, brakes malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which could cause a crash. Please provide further information.”
