A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was involved in an auto accident. The front driver side quarter panel was hit. No airbags deployed in either car. Immediately upon the collision, I tried to stop the car, but it accelerated on it's own. The car would not stop. I made a split decision to pull into a parking lot and then contemplated driving the car into a tree to stop it. I then decided to drive over a curbed divider that had a 3 foot hedge. I got the car to stop 8 feet after running over the hedge.
While entering a parking space at approximately 5 mph the gas pedal stuck and accelerated causing the car to jump curb and hit a wall causing severe damage to car and driver.The engine was still rerving and had to be shut down after the incident.
At speeds above 40 MPH with both hands and a good grip on the steering wheel I frequently receive the display warning "keep hands on steering wheel" and a loud audio warning. The loud warning is not only annoying but startling to everyone in the car. If I take my hands off the wheel the message goes away. If I leave my hands on the wheel and even grip tighter the warning continues until there is a message that the lane keeping assist system will be disabled temporarily.
