Intermittent brake lights; go on when not braking; also cruise control intermittent I understand that this is a common problem with this make/model. Suggest recall as this problem has made the press.

The car has a console. There are access panels on either side. While driving down the road, I hat a pot hole, and the drivers side panel came off and dropped between the accelerator pedle, and the side of the hump holding the accelerator down. I was forced to put the car in nuteral and get to the side of the road where I was able to remove the panel. When I inspected the panel, I found it is held in place by a 1" square of velcrow. I will be reinstalling the panel, and inserting a screw through the velcrow mount. This could have been a serieous inceident!

The contact's vehicle was involved in an accident. The vehicle swerved across the road and then accelerated down the highway, hitting a tree. The contact could not stop the vehicle with the brakes. Upon impact, the airbags did not deploy. The dealership did not know what caused the accident or why the airbags did not deploy.
