What owners wrote
While driving 35 MPH, another vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the consumer's vehicle which caused the consumer to veer off the road and hit a curb. The vehicle's axle broke and was towed to the dealership for analysis. The brake system resulted in a complete lost of control of the vehicle. The vehicle pulled to the right, the accelerator pedal would stick, there was a rattling/buzzing sound upon acceleration, the brakes slipped, and the accelerator did not respond at times.
The gas pedal stuck and the vehicle lunged forward. This occurred on 2 separate occasions. The first time upon acceleration from a complete stop, and the second time when the vehicle was put in reverse. This resulted in the vehicle hitting a tree. The vehicle sustained rear end damage.
