| Description of the problem | Driving on the garden state pkwy in nj, the car accelerated to 80mph and would not slow down or stop. Despite both feet on brake, the car would not slow down. The incident lasted for 5-10 minutes and disengaged by itself. Serviced for above by dealer on 5/2/09-remained until 5/6/10 and it was reported there was no mechanical issue-"it must have been the floor mat". Customer service was involved, going up to regional rep, who reiterated there was nothing mechanically wrong with the car-it was driver error. They also suggested it may have been an accidental cruise control engagement by driver, but had no explanation for why it did not disengage when brake was applied. They maintained it was driver error, probably the floor mat. The incident seems similar to the recent toyota problem. |
