Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)WHILE BACKING UP MY VEHICLE I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 500 RPM. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, AND TURN THE IGNITION TO OFF. I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART TO VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TWO OR THREE TIMES. ONETIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO PRESS HARD ON THE BREAK AND SHUT OFF IGNITION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SEEMS LIKE IT MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE ( IN THE 30"S F) . I THINK THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY SON. I FELT THE ACCELERATOR "CLUNK" AND NOTICED WHEN I ENTERED THE EXIT RAMP THAT I WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND AS SUSPECT THE ENGINE WHINED DUE TO BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR BEING PUSHED AT THE SAME TIME. I PLACE IT IN NEUTRAL AND CAME TO A STOP. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND TRIED TO DISLODGE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MOVE BUT WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN REMEDIED. I'M SO HAPPY THAT MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AND THAT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT IN THE CITY! *TR

MY CAR WAS TOTALED. THE DAMAGES TO APT. BUILDING REQUIRED THE TENANTS TO MOVE TO ANOTHER APT. THAT DAY. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP IT. I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. *TR
WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STAND STILL CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO UP THE HILL. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CLIMBED THE INCLINE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST NINE DAYS. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND CLAIMED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS THE PROBLEM.*AK
