What owners wrote
Cross country; as vehicle was coming to a stop at about 5 MPH, applied brakes, and engine started racing. The consumer kept applying the brakes, but vehicle accelerated, and rear ended another vehicle. The engine remained racing. The vehicle that was rear ended had been pushed into the vehicle in front. The consumer then tried to shift to neutral but ended up in reverse instead. The vehicle spun 180 degrees in reverse, then hit a grove of trees and come to a stop. The brakes were applied the entire time.
Throttle control module had to be replaced due to check engine light coming on and the car stopped several times on the highway and I finally called aaa to tow me from bedford ky which is approximately 46 miles to louisville ky where I live and where I purchased the car. The dealer charged me $403.88 which was suppose to be half of the cost. This was done 7/6/04 and I purchased the car 1/3/04.
