Parking Brake and Auxiliary Board are have been recalled since 2011 and 2013, respectively. Neither the manufacturer, Waev, nor my referred dealer, Energy Products (Warren, Michigan), are responding adequately to multiple requests to resolve these recalls since April 2024. These are safety recalls that need to be enforced. I need for the NHTSA to investigate both the manufacturer and dealer for their wrongdoings in this matter.
The control board has failed. Car will not run. GEM manufacturer and local Las Vegas dealer will not do the recall work. Say it is too old. We are unsure if the parking break is working properly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 e4 chrysler global electric motor vehicle. The contact was driving approximately 25 mph attempting to engage the brake pedal when the drivers foot accidentally engaged the accelerator pedal causing the vehicle to increase speed and crash into a wall. The contact stated that the manufacturer installed the accelerator and brake pedals with too much space in between them which caused the failure to occur. The driver sustained a minor injury. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was driven to a collision center to have the body damage repaired at the owners expense for $1,220.50. The failure mileage was 10.
