What owners wrote

Gas pedal and brake pedal to close to one another. While driving my vehicle this weekend. My shoe got stuck between the gas and brake pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate. I lost control of the vehicle, was unable to stop and hit another parked vehicle causing over $3600 in repairs to the parked car, the estimated damage to my car is the same. Have there been previous safety issues?

September 2005 Crash

Noticed car was pulling to one side. Then, I called dealer to report it. They looked at car and found nothing today, I was putting a tow hook on the rear end and noticed that brake fluid was leaking , not really bad but noticeable to anyone with eyes that can see a few inches in front of face. Driver's side rear drum was leaking size of dollar bill up to dollar size across give or take a half of one to fill in gaps. 2. Car pulled to one side hard when braking 3.
