What owners wrote
Daughter indicated at time of accident that vehicle would not slow down when brakes were applied. Figured operator error at time however, may have been wrong especially in light of recall information. Note. Weather was fine the day of the accident, no extreme cold. Vehicle was on dirt road, coming down a hill when she allegedly tried to slow vehicle down.
Faulty spot welds on the metal bracket thats holds the accelerator pedal assembly to the firewall broke loose. Spot welds full of air pockets. Showed it to the dealer, but they would not honor the defect. 38000 miles and its real nice to have the gas pedal to hang by the throttle cable. Thank goodness it happened in the driveway and not pulling out into traffic!
