What owners wrote

Another death could be avoided, this car was recalled in 2014 too late for ea domination of the car, and now after speaking with attorneys again the air bars are involved. Our son was so evict rated that there was nothing to do, pronounced dead at the scene . Emt's were helpless, he lost his face and his chest. No protection from this vehicle, pleas notify others.

Reported at 100,000 miles, October 2013 CrashDeath

Upon entering the expressway (from the entrance ramp), I engaged the accelerator (gas pedal) to transition into existing traffic. Upon reaching an adequate speed, I quickly began to approach a car in front of me (this was during morning rush hour). I needed to apply a bit of pressure to the brakes to react to flow of traffic - and upon taking my foot off the brake, realized that my car was still accelerating. I quickly reapplied pressure to the brakes and tried to use my left foot to "un-jam" the accelerator.
