Consumer Description

A life threatening situation in which upon swift acceleration attempt the accelerator pedal was stuck in the down position, the safety of myself, my family who were passengers as well as other surrounding vehicles on the highway was put in immediate danger as vehicle proceeded to accelerate well beyond legal limit. Using the brakes only slightly decelerated the vehicle while vehicle dash displayed maximum power kept being sent to the drive unit. That same day I was unable to replicate the problem as it seems to happen only once per drive cycle. Same issue has occurred on 2 separate occasions during 2 separate drive cycles.
