AIR BAGS

on 11/18/13, at approximately 5:15 pm, i was heading down a street to make a left to go home from work. all of a sudden the car accelerated and would not slow down after i pushed down on the brake with my right foot. i immediately began to turn the wheel to the right onto an empty street to avoid two other cars at the intersection who were going to make the same left i originally wanted to make. for some reason, the car did not go all the way right and went diagonally from the intersection across the street. the car then jumped a curb hitting an electrical pole. at that point, i was pulled out of the car by another driver who saw the incident because when hitting the pole, live wires were dangling from the pole. i was taken across the street away from the car and waited for police and paramedics to come.

SEATS

the mechanical adjustment for the upper seat back does not engage properly. it requires the driver to pull the seat-back forward to engage, otherwise the handle will remain the up position. the dealer replaced the seat under warranty, but it did not fix the problem. the device manager stated that the mechanical seats have that issue on several of their vehicles, including different years. if in an accident and the seat is not engaged properly it could result in injury.
