What owners wrote
Vehicle accelerated uncontrollably after the vehicle was backed out of a parking space and placed into drive. The vehicle's engine raced and the accelerator suddenly took off when touched taking the vehicle and driver 10 feet into a brick wall. The vehicle was uncontrollable and we suspect a defect in the accelerator, engine's fuel injection and computer. This accident would have been a fatality without the use of safety belts and air bags! Please help me make sure this doesn't happen to others!
While maneuvering in icy conditions the cruise control because of its design on the steering wheel, inadvertently engaged resulting in a crash. It seems that wearing gloves contributes to the problem.
