1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2010

I removed foot from accelerator and applied brake. Car surged forward. I shifted foot farther to left and continued brake application and car stopped. I discovered that brake and accelerator pedals too close together so that, when foot applied to brake, right side of foot can inadvertently press down on accelerator.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2008

Hydraulic lines, located over windshield, which operate convertible top, leak and spray hydraulic fluid into eyes of driver. This nearly resulted in loss of control of vehicle.
