| Car Accelerates On Its Own problems |
The contact owns a 2011 Mazda Tribute. The contact stated that when depressing the brakes, he would haphazardly depress the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The contact had concerns with the distance between the two pedals and stated that they were entirely too close together. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The current mileage was 4,500. The failure mileage was 5.
Driving on highway, engine just failed to accelerate suddenly and had to coast over to the breakdown lane. Engine did not turn completely off as it continued to hesitate and rpms fluctuated between 500-1000 but gas pedal would not accelerate car. Immediately put hazard lights on so cars behind me would know thar I was not at constant speed anymore.
