This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Was driving about 25 mph, the car lurched and the engine RPM when all the way up, out of control. Applying the brakes full force could not stop the car. Car eventually crashed into a fence and came to a stop with the engine still turning at very fast RPM. Drive wheels dug a hole into soft earth from spinning wheels until engine was shut off.
I had the cruise control on, I was going about 65 miles per hour, I pushed on the gas pedal to pass a car, the pedal stuck all the way down, I hit the brakes but the car keep going faster, I had to hit the gas pedal several times to get it to release. The same thing hppended without the curise control on.
Incident also happened again in June 1999 at approx. 35-40 mph. Car accelerates on its own, as if cruise control is engaged when in actuality it is rarely used. (car accelerates when already in forward motion, not when standing still.) this car has automatic transmission.
