I had that experience in 9/2009. </p> http://suddenacceleration.com/forums/topic.php?id=1#post-1 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:11:37 +0000 admin 1@http://suddenacceleration.com/forums/ <p>Then you need to know you're not alone!<br /> Sudden acceleration is one of the most deadly automotive defects in history. It occurs when a car’s electronics cause the throttle to go wide open, making it impossible for the driver to return the car to idle if it remains in gear. It also severely limits the ability of the brakes to bring the vehicle under control -- leaving the unsuspecting driver at the mercy of a runaway car. Thousands of people, including drivers, passengers, and innocent bystanders, have been killed or seriously injured in sudden acceleration accidents. </p> http://suddenacceleration.com/forums/topic.php?id=2#post-2 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:49:25 +0000 Anonymous 2@http://suddenacceleration.com/forums/ <p>First off let me explain that 'your' definition of Sudden Acceleration is completely wrong. “Sudden acceleration incidents” (SAI) are defined as unintended, unexpected, high-power accelerations from a stationary position or a very low initial speed accompanied by an apparent loss of braking effectiveness. In a typical scenario, the incident begins at the moment of shifting to Drive” or “Reverse” from “Park” (as quoted by NHTSA)notice no mention of any electrical device defect.The definition has also been modified to include Unintended Acceration, the difference being one occurs while moving and the other at a stop or very low speed. NHTSA has proven thousands of times that it is impossible to duplicate such experiences in vehicles, even in vehicles this has claimed to have happened in. Thousands. Not one duplication. Driver error is always the culprit. If it was an electrical defect you would be able to reproduce the occurance at least once, which has still yet to be done in the 30+ years this phenomena has been under investigation (Not including you crafty individuals who pull an Ed Bradley and rig a vehicle to do so). So by definition what you are "informing" people of is a lie. Do you know why most cases of this so called electrical defect happen in newer cars as you state? Bucause drivers are not used to the vehicle and basically we are a blaming culture. Brakes override the accelerator. Simple physics. I have yet to drive a vehicle that the brakes would not stop it and if you can prove this is not the case I would love to see that. The fact is, unintended acceleration or sudden acceleration is a result of driver error. Never has it been the vehicle. Not once. But feel free to challenge this with any actual proof which I can assure you you do not have. </p>
