NHTSA Complaint #10958983 — 2012 DODGE DART

IN MARCH OF 2016 I WAS IN A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT, TURNED MY VEHICLE ON, AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. I MAINTAINED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND DID NOT RELEASE. I THEN RELEASED THE BREAK AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST WITHOUT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, ALMOST COLLIDING INTO A FAMILY OF 5 WALKING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. EVEN AFTER PUSHING ON THE BREAK THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING UNTIL I MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE THEN KEPT ACCELERATING UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 7000 RPM'S THEN STOPPED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATED ON HIM EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR.
