The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I have a 2004 Saturn L300.1 sedan with cruise control. A couple of times over the past years when using the cruise control and pressing the cruise control accelerate button, the button stuck in the accelerate position causing the car to accelerate until the cruise control was turned off by brake or switch. Knowing this can happen, I am careful using cruise control and have not reported it. With the current publicity about acceleration problems, I thought it should be reported. Better late than never. Thank you.

While driving on the freeway 70 mph acceleration will drop down to 5 mph. Dealership stated that there was something wrong with computer that threw the vehicle into idle mode. This problem also occurred in the owner's previous Saturn model L200 2002. The cause was still undetermined.
