I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SWAYED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA.

THIS IS TO AMEND COMPLAINT NUMBER 11051891. CAUSE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS AFTERMARKET FLOOR MAT INSTALLED BY THE BUICK DEALER! FLOOR MAT HAS DIAGONAL GROOVES MOLDED INTO THE RUBBER IN EXACTLY THE WORST SPOT SUCH THAT THE CORNER OF ACCELERATOR PEDAL CATCHES IN THE GROOVE AND HOLDS THE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN. I GUESS THEY DIDN'T LEARN FROM THE TOYOTA / LEXUS DISASTERS AND DARN NEAR KILLED ME IN THE PROCESS!

I HAD PARKED IN THE VISITORS PARKING SPACE AT THE NURSING HOME. I WANTED TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR IN THE SPACE. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AT AN UNCONTROLLABLE FAST SPEED, WENT ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, HIT THE VISITORS PARKING SIGN, WENT ACROSS SOME GRASS, ACROSS THE MAIN SIDEWALK TO THE BUILDING, ACROSS SOME MORE GRASS, HIT THE VISITORS PARKING SIGN ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. I FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN THE PARKING LOT BY APLYING THE BRAKE. SINCE MY WHEELS WERE TURNED TO PARK, THE CAR MADE A COMPLETE CIRCLE WITH THE WHEELS STILL TURNED. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR CAUSE A DEATH!. I WAS FORTUNATE THIS TIME! WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN?. CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE A CAR WHICH WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT OF SOME KIND WHICH CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BUICK LACROSSE 2016 WITH LESS THAT 5,000 MILES ON IT.

FROM STANDING STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STOMP THE ACCELERATOR TO COMMAND IMMEDIATE ACCELERATION: ACCELERATOR SOMETIMES STICKS IN WIDE OPEN THROTTLE RESULTING IN UNINTENDED SUSTAINED ACCELERATION. FIRST COUNTER-MEASURE TRIED - SLAP THE GEAR SELECTOR HANDLE TO NEUTRAL POSITION; HOWEVER, ENGINE REMAINS IN WOT CONDITION. SECOND COUNTER-MEASURE - PUSH THE ENGINE OFF SWITCH AND COAST TO A STOP. THIRD COUNTER-MEASURE - STOP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN UNTIL IT COMES UN-STUCK. IN LIGHT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COUNTER-MEASURE #3, I BELIEVE THE FAULT IS IN THE LINKAGE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL - PROBABLY IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINKAGE ITSELF.

AS I WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED ABOVE ME. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND HAD NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME WHERE I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS WAS BENT UPWARD AS IF THERE WAS TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN THE CABIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID SOMETHING HAD TO OF HIT IT WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME AND THE HOLE WAS ABOUT 1FT BY 1FT WITH THE GLASS BENT UPWARD AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING FROM THE INSIDE THAT CAUSED IT TO EXPLODE. I LOOKED UP ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT THE 2015 BUICK REGAL AND CHEVY CRUZE BOTH HAD TO HAVE RECALLS WHERE THEY REPLACED THIN GLASS IN SUNROOFS. TO ME IT APPEARS THIS IS THE CASE FOR MY 2016 BUICK LACROSSE WHERE THE GLASS WAS TOO THIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT HOOD LATCH WOULD PARTIALLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,100.
