| Description of the problem | Vehicle did not respond to braking (possible stalling, loss of control of vehicle), resulting in a severe crash involving two parked cars and property, injury to driver, and total loss. The vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed going down hill due to having no control over the vehicle. Because driver was unable to stop, the vehicle ran two stop signs. The crash resulted in the vehicle crashing into two parked cars, "jumping" those vehicles and running into a home. The vehicle was twice previously repaired under warranty for stalling. Occasion 1 (14k miles): vehicle stalled at stoplight and key light was flashing. Error codes p1605 and p219a at the time. Occasion 2 (16k miles): vehicle stalled twice while stopped, on the same day. The vehicle was shaky at the stoplight and multiple warning lights came on, code p1605 (2nd repair). |
