Defective Accelerator Accident Injury Lawyers
Accelerator Problems
Acceleration problems can happen under two circumstances:
1) The car is already in motion and unexpectedly and suddenly increases acceleration without warning
2) From a non-moving position with the car in park or neutral and a foot on the brake, the car suddenly accelerates, usually while shifting into forward or rear motion gears.
Sudden accelerations from either position (stopped or in motion) can be lethal or deadly.
Recent examples of cars with sudden acceleration problems include the Ford Escape and the Mazda Tribute. On December 10, 2004, Ford Motor Co. announced a recall of 474,000 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute sport-utility vehicles worldwide because of a problem with the accelerator on the 2002-2004 model years with 3.0 liter engines. These are just two recent examples of acceleration defects.
