Many parking/merging/stop-and-go accidents and geriatric cases can be ascribed to pedal misapplication. This is why you don't see the brake lights going on in the CCTV footage of many accidents. Pedal entrapment is still likely... especially if the driver has just gotten in the car, taking over from another, and has moved the seats, dislodging the mat.

The scary ones are the ones happening at speed. At that point, the driver will have been in the proper driving position for a long period of time, so it's highly unlikely they will be in the wrong position. There, you look at possible pedal entrapment (still quite probable... I'm sure we've all had experiences of mats moving aroudn when we shift our feet) and after that, possible mechanical failure of the pedal, then of the speed governor. Then cruise (but all modern cruise controls have brake override), then pedal electronics (least likely, IMHO... because the dual sensors typical have different voltages), then ECU.- from sir niky


un nga ung tanong ko sir na sa lahat po ng complains and video na pinalabas ng ABS-CBN eh its either naka standstill ung montero or nagpapark. bat wala pang nabalita na nag wild ung montero habang tumatakbo or cruising sa highway. for example tumatakbo ka 100 km/h and all of a sudden nag wild na lang bigla at bumilis ng bumilis ung sasakyan.
