“I was parked in parking lot of usps ready to leave. I had gotten there about 20 mins before. Car gave me no indication of any malfunction on way there. I turned car on and shifted to reverse;let go of emergency break when car jolted in reverse across to other side of parking . It jumped the cement molding on floor banged against iron railing knocking it down. As soon as I felt the jolt I pulled back on the emergency break and nothing happened. Luckily no one was hurt. I saw that there was a recall on this vehicle but I am not the original owner. Do I have any rights on this matter?”
NHTSA complaint #10957304, filed 2017-02, 180,810 miles“My 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara has a problem with the accelerator getting stuck down. It has happened twice this year (07). I was lucky both times as it happened before I had gotten onto the highway. And no one was hurt either time.I looked up Suzuki recalls online and found a recall for my make and model. However, when I called Suzuki and a local Suzuki dealer, I was told my VIN was not on their recall lists. This is a very dangerous problem and should be addressed by the manufacturer. I wonder how many people may have died since 2004 from accidents caused by their accelerator sticking? …”
