What owners wrote
I was parking my car at work. I pulled into the parking space and backed up slightly to straighten my car. When I put the car into drive to pull forward again , the car raced forward with engine revving strongly. I could not stop the car with the brake. The car crashed and pushed through a thick brick wall. The airbags did not deploy. The car would only stop after I pushed the engine shutoff button. The gearshift was hard to move after the incident.
Tl* - on 9/24/06 while the contact was driving vehicle at 60 MPH and it unexpectedly accelerated to 75 MPH. The contact had to apply the brake with both feet to disengage the acceleration on the vehicle. On 10/09/06, while driving on the highway at 40 MPH the vehicle accelerated to 75 MPH, had to hold both feet on the brake and pull the vehicle off to side of the road.
