    The product, in the report: Huffy Torex New 24V UTV Kids’ 4x4 Side-By-Side Electric 4-wheeler Quad

    My grandkids were driving/riding in a Huffy 24 volt jeep that was purchased from Wal-Mart. My grandson which is well within the age range of operating this toy starting to state he took his foot off of the petal but the toy was still moving forward at about 10 MPH. My grandson swerved into a tree to avoid going over a steep hill in my front yard. Once he had come to a stop I immediately helped both grandchildren out of the Jeep and pushed the off button. Even after pushing the off button the wheels continued to turn on the jeep. I pulled the seat and disconnected the wires that hook up to the battery. The wires were extremely hot and felt melted together.

    The product, in the report: Huffy 24 volt ride on side by side toy. [REDACTED] look alike buggy. Cost 500$

    My son and nephew were getting in and ready for a ride when it unexpectedly took off out of the driveway and down the street with them in it and no seat belts on because we didn’t get to finish putting helmet and seat belt on our kids. Thank God we were able to run and jump in front of it and hold it still while my brother ripped the kids from this death machine and then removed the battery to get it to stop. This could have resulted in death of a 3 and 4 year old! This is not ok!

    I bought a huffy Torex 24v four wheeler from my sons Christmas. Initially, we had issues with the triggers which only going into reversed. I was sent a replacement piece. After replacing the piece by popping out the old switch and pushing in the new one, I connected the battery to the vehicle. Without stepping on the gas pedal, it’s started accelerating by itself. I took a fall and injuring my knee.
