What owners wrote
While driving 10 MPH vehicle continued to accelerate without any warning. Occupant applied the brakes which were inoperative. It resulted in a crash.
My daughter set the cruise control at 65/67 MPH and the car continued to accelerate. After attempting to tap the brakes and turn the cruise control button off, the car was traveling at 90 MPH. When trying to stop the vehicle she had to desperately press on the brakes using two feet to bring the car to a stop. After the car was stopped, she put the car in neutral with rpm's racing at 7500, she then disengaged the power.
