Consumer Description

Throttle tends to rev and stick at 4000rpm randomly. Not sure if this is caused by the system software or hardware failure or both. Once this happens the engine functions erratically and the exhaust pipes will heat up until they are red hot and will melt and cause a fire or explosion in the vehicle. The dealership and the manufacturer have been made aware of this tremendous vehicle safety hazard and I am filing this complaint to the NHTSA to ensure that this case is noticed and handled appropriately. My primary concern is for my safety and the safety of everyone who owns this vehicle or plans to purchase it in the future. I was fortunate to have this happen to me while traveling close to home on residential streets. Had I been on the highway and this situation occurred it could have proved to be fatal and my grieving family would be filing this complaint instead of me.
