When you fully depress the brake pedal you can fully engage the accelerator pedal. This has resulted in an accident 2 days after delivery.
On 8/22/19 shortly after noon I had returned from Sioux Falls to home 837 Hyland Drive Larchwood IA. As usual I entered the garage letting the idle carry me in with my foot on the brake. I came to a stop before the parking stop. I started to release the brake to move up to the stop. The vehicle surged forward went over the stop and into the freezer and refrigerator pushing then into the wall before I could stop. I was the only witness, although my wife heard the impact. I was unhurt, air bags did not deploy.
Freezer and refrigerator totaled, back wall and door will have to be replaced, will need foundation work. Damage appears to be cosmetic, but lower bumper needs replacement. Farm Bureau claim # A559124p01 Denisse Johnson Adjuster 515 344 6248, Field claim Rep Dez Broeg.
Vehicle is equipped with:
Auto start stop
Pre collision assist
Adaptive Cruise control ,on but not engaged since coming off highway
Subsequently after ending in the middle of an intersection I determined the brake issue was the cause.
