NHTSA Complaint #11172450 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING AND I ACCELERATED THROUGH A GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE MY TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AS I CONTINUED TO PRESS THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR TO TRY AND STOP BUT IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OFF TRAFFIC TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE AND IT STILL NEVER SLOWED DOWN AS I'M TRYING TO PULL OVER. ONCE I GOT OUT OF TRAFFIC I WENT OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THREW IT IN PARK.I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY ISSUE THEN THAT NIGHT MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO WORK WITHOUT ISSUES BUT WHEN HE GOT OFF THE NEXT DAY AS HE WAS BACKING OUT THE PARKING SPACE HE WAS IN MOTION TO REVERSE OUT THE SPACE AND HE PUSHED THE GAS AND THEN WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKE AND IT ACCELERATED ON HIM SENDING HIM OUT OF CONTROL SPINNING IN A CIRCLE THEN HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE.
