In addition, while driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating when the accelerator pedal was depressed and then suddenly accelerated at an extremely high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 15,000.
