• 12/09/2014· ENGINE

  I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY BADLY AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN OCCASIONALLY, AND HAVE NOTICED A PATTERN OF WHEN I AM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 10-25 MINUTES THE CAR STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WAY, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE BEING FULLY PRESSED. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT JUST A VIBRATION, THIS IS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR (ENGINE AND ALL) ALMOST BUCKING OUT OF POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, IT ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE. ANOTHER ISSUE, WHICH CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IS THE CAR IS LEAKING FROM THE RAIN OUTSIDE INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE FRAME (DRIPS). IF YOU DO NOT CHECK BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS AND WHEN YOU START DRIVING AND TURNING, THE DRIPS CAN GO IN YOUR EYES, CAUSING YOUR VISION TO BE IMPAIRED. *TR

THEY SAID A RECALL AND TSB SHOWED THE ECM SHOULD BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY LOOKED AT ECM, SAID IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN, AND THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE ONE TIME. RESET CODE, CAME BACK ON A FEW WEEKS LATER. IS THERE ANY WAY NTSB CAN REQUIRE THEY REPAIR SAME DEFECTIVE PART REQUIRED UNDER RECALL A SECOND TIME?

• 12/05/2015· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  MY WIFE WAS THE DRIVER. SHE HAD STOPPED TO BACK UP AND SWING INTO HER NORMAL PARKING SPOT. SHE HAD BEEN PARKING IN THIS SPOT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP AND THOUGH SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED 40' THROUGH OUR BUSHES AND KNOCKED DOWN THE NEIGHBORS CHAIN LINK FENCE BEFORE STOPPING. IT STOPPED MOVING BECAUSE THE FWD WHEELS WERE OFF THE GROUND AS THE KNOCKED OVER BUSHES RAISED THE CAR BODY UP. I WAS TAKING A SHOWER AND HEARD THE ENGINE REV UNCONTROLLABLY AND GRAVEL SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. IT WAS LOUD. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT. NO ONE WAS HURT THIS TIME, BUT IF IT DOES IT AGAIN SOMEONE OR MORE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. SHE DID NOT STEP ON THE GAS. SHE WAS STOPPED IN DRIVE AND ABOUT TO PUT IT INTO REVERSE WHEN IT JUST TOOK OFF LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. MAUI POLICE REPORT #15-049974. 12/4/2015 OFFICER J.
