I was slowly pulling into a parking space with my foot off the accelerator and ready to brake, when suddenly the car accelerated. I had to "stand" on the brake to stop the car. Had I not done so, the car would have hopped over the parking block, broken through a fence and hit a building.
Car accelerated out of control. After passing a car, my car continued to accelerate. The accelerator did not disengage after taking my foot off of the accelerator. The vehicle accellerated to speeds in excess of 80 mph. When applying the brake pedal, the care slowed from 80 mph to 60 mph. After pressing on the brakes with as much force as possible, the vehicle continued to accelerate. After several minutes and several attempts to slow the vehicle, the vehicle was stopped despite the continued acceleration. As the vehicle was accellerating I checked and found no pedal obstruction and the car was not in cruise contral mode.
While driving vehicle, consumer states' the brake pedal and gas pedal are too close. Consumer states in an emergency situation consumer may press gas instead of brakes, and cause an accident. Consumer states' foot became stuck under brake pedal and he was not able to stop. This resulted in a collsion. Please provide any further information. Ts.
While trying to apply brakes consumer stepped on gas pedal, causing vehicle to accelerate. Contacted dealer ,and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
Brake and accelerator pedals are too close together, when applying brake consumer applies accelerator pedal at the same time.
Vehicle will surge forward without acceleratot pedal being depressed, almost causing an accident.
Sudden acceleration letter attached. Dt.
