Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving on city street at about 30-35 MPH. As I approached intersection I took foot off accelerator pedal and stepped on brake pedal to slow down and stop at intersection. As I stepped on brake pedal, I could hear engine start accelerating and car wouldn't stop. I noticed tach reading between 4 and 5. Although engine was accelerating and vehicle was moving forward it was not moving at excessive speed. I pressed harder on brake pedal and while car slowed somewhat it would not stop. So I decided that the only way to stop vehicle was to move gear shift lever to park and then turn off engine. …”
