What owners wrote
When the consumer stepped on the accelerator, nothing happened, then all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated out of control. After taking the auto to the dealer a number of times, the transmission was replaced , but it did not resolve the problem. Then after another visit to the dealer/mechanic, the consumer was told they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle, since the problem could not be duplicated. The consumer was advised, to keep a record of the mishaps and present it to the states attorney's office.
The accelerator pedal locked up intermittently while driving. This almost caused consumer's vehicle to hit another vehicle when consumer had to apply the accelerator pedal harder then normal. Vehicle accelerated at a high speed and lurched forward. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions, and dealer lubricated the linkage the first time, and replaced the accelerator throttle assembly the second time, but problem recurred.
