Due to the failure, the contact fell backwards out of the vehicle and landed on her head and back. With the assistance of another pedestrian and her husband, the contact was taken to the hospital where a cat scan revealed internal bleeding around her head; the contact was able to be released the same day. Since the accident, the contact has had soreness and pain to both hands, back, neck and hip. The contact called the dealer where she was informed that the hand grips were not used for assistance into the vehicle but only for going over bumps in the road. The contact stated that she then read the owners manual and none of that information was listed. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

MY WIFE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN SHE TRIED TO PULL OFF, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO MOVE. TWO GOOD SAMARITANS PUSHED HER INTO A PARKING LOT. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER REVEALED RUSTED AND STRIPPED SPLINES ON THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT AND TRANSFER CASE MATING PART. DURING MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY ELECTROLYTIC MIGRATION DUE TO A LACK OF GREASE ON THE MATING PARTS DURING ASSEMBLY. PLEASE NOTE THE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AREAS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE APART FROM THE RUST DISLODGED DURING DISASSEMBLY.

ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 10 YEARS, WITH FOOT PRESSING HARD ON BRAKE TOWARD BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED. FIRST TIME, I WAS AT AN ATM. FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I WAS LEANING OUT THE WINDOW GETTING MONEY OUT OF THE ATM AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. A LOUD NOISE OF IT RAMPING UP AND THEN IT JOLTED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY SAT BACK STRAIGHT IN THE CAR KEEPING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WITHIN ABOUT 3 FEET THE CAR STOPPED. SECOND TIME WAS AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. LEANING OUT TO GET THE FOOD, THE CAR ACCELERATED. MADE THE LOUD RAMPING UP SOUND. JERKED FORWARD AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. THIRD TIME, AT A PHARMACY DRIVE THROUGH, LEANING OUT TO GET THE MEDICATIONS, FOOT ON THE BRAKE. CAR ACCELERATED. LOUD RAMPING UP NOISE. LUNGED FORWARD ABOUT 2 FEET THEN STOPPED. MOST RECENT TIME, I WAS GETTING A TICKET AT A PARKING GARAGE GATE. LEANED OUT TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO GET THE TICKET. 100% POSITIVE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. PRESSED HARD ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE SO AS TO NOT SLIP. THE CAR MADE THE RAMPING UP SOUND, THEN ACCELERATED. WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE, I IMMEDIATELY SAT STRAIGHT AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. IT WENT ABOUT 15 FEET WITHOUT STOPPING - THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE GATE BENT AND THEN SCRAPPED DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. (TRIED HARD TO DRIVE AROUND IT AFTER IT BENT). I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND THEN PRESSED IT AGAIN AND THE CAR STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A PARKING SPACE IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT MAYBE 100 YARDS AWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY INSISTED MY FOOT MUST HAVE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR OR THE CARPET MUST HAVE BEEN PUSHED UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR (THE CAR HAS RUBBER MATTS, THERE IS NO CARPET) AS A WORK AROUND, I NOW ALWAYS PUT IT IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHENEVER I'M AT A DRIVE THROUGH.
