What owners wrote
I was traveling at about 35MPH in a city street and slowly approaching an intersection to make a right turn. Out of a sudden, the car accelerated while my foot was on the brake, crashing into another vehicle and running off the road. Both airbags deployed.
Upon applying the brake in an avoidance situation, I noticed the spongy feel to the brakes. What concerns me more, is that during the process of the event, the brake pedal settles down to below the height of the accelerator and if your foot isn't square on the brake pedal, you wind up hitting the gas while trying to stop the vehicle.. I need to talk with someone. This is most certainly a defect in design.
