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 accelerates when I am coming to a stop;this has happened about 5-6 times. On May 23, 09 I was almost stopped in a parking place and the car started bucking against my application of the brake and it was about 30 yards before the vehicle struck another vehicle and stopped. On Feb.13 of this year I was stopping at a stop sign and the vehicle again started accelerating. Placing the gear into neutral saved another crash. The speed of the vehicle at the time of the incidents has been only about 2 mph. I know that "others" like to claim confusion, driver error, etc. I am absolutely certain that such has not been the case and I have a passenger witness to these incidents and what I did the vehicle simply overpowers my attempts to brake and bucks like a wild horse.. I have had the vehicle examined by several garages and they say that w/O the ability to recreate the incident a diagnosis cannot be made. The incident 5- 29-09 did result in damages. Newport beach police were called. The Feb 13 2210 incident did not result in damages (unless you are including being terrified of a crash).
