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.
The vehicle will go faster than the amount of pressure the consumer applies to the gas pedal. The cruise control was not on when the problem occurred. This happened about 6 times. There have been two recalls on the vehicle. The first was on the windshield wiper motor, and she went to have it replaced when she discovered the second recall. The second was for the throttle cable. The consumer and the dealer thought that it might have been the reason for the problem. She had the recall done on 7-25-05. The problem still occurred again on 8-12-05. She took it back to the dealer. They told her that it had nothing to do with the recall issue. It might have been a problem with the butterfly intake. When she contacted the manufacturer, they told her to file a complaint with the NHTSA, and she did. So.
The tilt action of the steering wheel can cause the electrical wires to crimp/break, or short out at their connectors on the back of the multi-function column switch. The cruise control cannot be set with the wheel in the lower positions after failure. Low beam headlights have been lost due to failure.
The vehicle was parked on an incline in the park and on position, consumer's feet was on the brake pedal, consumer was disenaging the car club when the vehicle suddly accelerated in the reverse position, resulting in a collision.
