What owners wrote
Without warning accelerator pedal got stuck the floor while driving 45-MPH, causing the consumer to lose control of the vehicle and hit an embankment. Upon impact, both frontal airbag did not deploy. Driver sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital.
Accelerator sticks. This is the 2nd time we have encountered this problem. The first time was within the 36k warranty and had it covered. Cannot remember if they replaced throttle body or just cleaned. It occurred again .. This time @ 80k. I had them replace the throttle body (dealer recommendation for $459.82). I have owned a total of 4 villagers and this is the first time I have ever encountered anything like this. It is a hazard because you have to tap the pedal hard to get it to go.
