THE BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS ALSO PRESSED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL COLLISIONS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
