"this is graphic evidence of what happens when someone like Subaru 'forgets' to fit a $1 spring clip. The throttle probably stuck at around 3/4 open as she had just been traveling up a steep hill less than 2 miles from our house. The road then dips down and goes into a series of S bends, she left the road doing about 80mph and hit a tree 5 foot up in air from the road's surface. It was a bright sunny day, no precipitation, she was trapped in there for 45 mins and as you can see from the door pillars they tried to cut with their hurst cutters the car survived remarkably. But all the people who have seen this wreck said it was not a survivable accident. I wonder if the people in their big corporations ever consider these type of things, or whether they sleep at night"?""
My 2001 Subaru Outback suddenly accelerates, on its own, while my foot is lightly on the brake. This happens mostly in parking lots/pulling into parking spaces.
While on line behind another vehicle consumer put foot on brake pedal and accelerator at same time. Consumer accelerated into rear of someone's car. Consumer felt there was a manufacturer's defect in these pedals. The consumer states that brake pedal and accelerator are poorly located due to design flaw.
