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.
I started my car and put it in reverse. Accelerator stuck and with both feet on the brake I could not stop the car from moving or reduce its speed. With both feet on the brake and not the accelerator I ran across two lanes of the highway and slammed into a tree. Apparently I have a totaled vehicle/Malibu 2000. Trooper did not believe the accelerator was stuck.
Complaint received via E-mail. While my family and I were driving home from a restaurant accelerator pedal locked open while approaching our exit. It was only by my quick reaction and cool head that my family was spared a horrendous accident. Vehicle was towed to a dealership. Just last week the power steering pump failed, and needed to be replaced.. this tribute was a nightmare, considering the age of this vehicle and only 45,000 kilometers.
