“The gas pedal sticks causing car to accelerate to fast. Seems to be when I first get in the car after it has set for a couple of hours. This sticking pedal is going to cause an accident and needs to have a recall based on the information I have seen on this web site.”
NHTSA complaint #10177962, filed 2007-01, 32,500 miles“I was stopped at a light when I barely let my foot off the brake. My vehichle lept forward, hitting the car in front of me, which caused that car to hit the car in front of him.”
NHTSA complaint #10080496, filed 2004-07, 81,208 miles“I had pulled into a parking space in a shopping center's parking lot. The car was crooked so I put the car in reverse to merely straighten it out at which point the car flew backwards as if my foot had pressed the accelerator to the floor and held it there although this certainly was not the case. As my foot was on the brake and this was happening I shifted the car into park. All this occurred in a 3 second period and I'm not sure what actually stopped my car- the brake, the gear in park or the car I hit which parked 12-15 ft behind me. …”
