What owners wrote
Vehicle on slight slope when 5 yr old shifted gear lever to neutral. Vehicle began to move forward and hit a pedestrian , pinning her against another vehicle. Owner's manual indicated that vehicle could not be shifted unless foot is on brakes. Took vheicle to dealership, and mechanic informed owner that brake light must have be broken in order for lever to be shifted. Owner declared brake lights working just fine.
Dt: the contact complained about several problems with vehicle. First, the accelerator pedal stuck. The dealer cleaned the throttle body which seemed to solve the problem. The vehicle would sometimes surge forward. She thought the surging was related to apparent transmission problems. She finally had the transmission rebuilt. Part of the cost was covered under the extended warranty. Secondly, the seat belt in the middle row did not retract correctly. The dealer could not duplicate the problem.
