What owners wrote
2 to 3 years prior to this accident I was coming to a stop light and the brakes did not work, but only for a few seconds. I reported this to my husband and he took it to several mechanics but did not find anything wrong with the vehicle, my husband has owned a auto parts store for 40 years and knows a few qualified mechanics.
No failure, just apparent stickiness in accelerator. Occasionally, while pulling out from signals, pedal feels as if it is sticking, then will pop loose and car lurches forward.
