VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAUSE IT IS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE. AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE . I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND MOVED THE GEAR LEVER TO "DRIVE". AT THE SAME TIME MY FOOT ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THE ENGINE WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD HAVE LURCHED FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL. ANOTHER TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT AND MY FOOT MOMENTARILY HIT THE ACCELERATOR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK EXTREME MEASURES TO AVOID A PEDESTRIAN AND A PARKING GARAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS "BRAIN" WAS DEFECTIVE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF REDUNDANCY IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND QUESTION IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR CLAIMS HE HAS NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THAT THE NEEDED COMPNENT FOR REPAIR WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO COME IN. THIS PROVIDES US LITTLE PIECE OF MIND. PLEASE PROVIDE US AAN UN-BIASED INVESTIGATION.*AK
