Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WITH SPEED AT 100+ MILES PER HOUR. THE BRAKES FAILED/ WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ACCELERATOR MOVED AWAY FROM MY FOOT. THIS HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WITH MY CAR. EACH TIME THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS A 1990 CADILLAC SEDAN DEVILLE, 4 DOOR. THE TOYOTA RECALL DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR. THE 911 CALL TELEVISED ON THE NEWS WITH THE FAMILY THAT WAS KILLED IN THE TOYOTA CAR, THE CALLER SAID "THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE BRAKES HAD FAILED". THIS IS WHAT I REMEMBER WITH MY INCIDENTS AND THIS BROUGHT BACK THOSE MEMORIES. I HOPE THIS CAN HELP. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE FLOOR MATS, THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT FIRST AND THEN SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I DID SENT A COMPLAINT TO GMC IN DETROIT, MI BUT NEVER HEARD BACK. *TR
