| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Speed control - acceleration. On 10 occasions since 03/05 the accelerator pedal can be depressed, nothing happens, and then the vehicle takes off. Yesterday was the last straw - backing up and it did it. When it did take off with accelerator depressed about half way, it took off and even though i was ready for it to do that i couldn't get it stopped quick enough and it hit a pole. It tore rear bumper. I have had it to dealer 4 times and they kept car for 5 days and could not duplicate the problem. Told us until they can get it to do it while they had it - there isn't anything they can do. So far when it has happened pulling out into traffic we were able to avoid getting hit. Cannot understand why nhtsa hasn't addressed this problem. Perhaps because no documented deaths have occurred.....*jb |
