MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WHO ALWAYS WORE HER SEAT BELT WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT AND SOMEHOW RAN OFF THE ROAD HIT A LITTLE CHERRY TREE AND WAS THROWN FROM HER CAR & KILLED HER. THE SIDE NOR THE FRONT AIR BAGS WENT OFF. AND APPARENTLY THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TOO. THE HIGHWAY PARTROL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DRIVER WAS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLIDED INTO A FENCE. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GARAGE. NO REPORT OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR INJURIES. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN PULLED FORWARD WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A 4-5 INCH CURB IN THE BACK OF THE GARAGE CRUSHING EVERYTHING. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. *SC *JB

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONSUMER PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATED. THE CONSUMER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP IT.
