Summary

Pitstop: smart pedal feature - the “smart pedal” is an integral part of the engine management system (ems) functionality which monitors and prevents the simultaneous activation of accelerator and brake pedals. When engaged, the feature reduces engine power to idle. Most customers will never notice the smart pedal feature when active, however, customers who tend to rest their foot on the brake pedal while driving might describe a hesitation or delay symptom and not realize that the ems electronic control module is intervening, as designed.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 477 complaints in the acceleration category.
