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.
Accelerator sticks when in high RPM, if you hit the brake it slows the car down a little but the car continues to accelerate. This has happened 2 times when I'm going around 60pmh and have dropped into 4th gear to pass someone. I had to shut the car off to stop it from accelerating. Then when the car was shut off and in park and the emergency brake was up, I tried turning the car on and as soon as I turned it on it revved up really high. It finally turned on normally after in turned it on and off a couple times. The accelerator has also stuck when I was going around 70-75 and hit the accelerator to pass someone to get into a different lane, I did not drop into 4th gear, I was in 5th gear the whole time. This time I was in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic and didn't have the option to shut it off, I put the car in neutral and then shifted it back into 5th gear and that fixed it that time.
