What owners wrote
My parents picked my daughter up from the school bus and proceeded down my driveway slowly. The vehicle suddenly accelerated even as my father had both feet on the brake. There were visible signs of the front wheels dragging up debris as the front wheels were locking up. He attempted to shift into neutral and turn the key but was unable to do so as the vehicle must have reached a speed in excess of 50 MPH before he slammed it into park and then ran head on into a tree.
On numerous occasions the spark plugs have shot out causing damage to the coil pack and threads to the block. This is a 200$ to 300$ fix each time. Getting to be a hassle.
