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.
While driving vehicle suddenly accelerated uncontrollably. The consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. The vehicle continued to accelerate with speed. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, pulled over, and turned the vehicle off. The consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the speed sensor cable needed to be replaced. The consumer was entering a ramp when the vehicle had taken off very fast. The consumer felt the experience was like the cruise control had taken over. The consumer stated that her foot was all the way down on the brake pedal. The consumer managed to slow the vehicle down, veered off of the highway, shifted the gear to park with the vehicle still moving, then applied the emergency brake with only seconds to spare.
Speed control failed to disengage when braking or using off button, throttle cable hung up shifted to neutral, but transmission shifted between neutral and reverse and destroyed transmission.
