    I have the same issue.  Jeeps, hovercraft, small vehicles will not accelerate with W.  I think I got the tank to move maybe.  So I just don’t drive vehicles.

    @thoughtsneeze I also have an issue with vehicle binds.

    The arrow keys are always bound to look-left and look-right for vehicles even if you unbind them. So if you want to turn left, your camera will turn left as well.

    Having the default for arrow keys being set as camera turn keys is also weird they should be set the same as WASD keys, I have to unbind them for each category just to use arrow based movement. Does anyone not use a mouse and use arrows to look around. Never heard of that.

    I have received multiple emails from EA about how my post had earned “badges”, but nothing so far about this huge defect that prevents me from using a major feature in the game.

    I could do with more solutions and less badges, please.

    Just give me my money back and I’ll go play Halo Infinite instead.

    Fun fact: the Warthog worked on day one. Maybe Microsoft can give you guys some notes on how to build a functional game. This is ridiculous.

    @thoughtsneezeThe most common cause of this is if you hit the key to the left of the "1", which starts the console mode (why they have this I have no idea). Caught me out several times until I see the lines of wwwwwwwwwwssssssssss being printed across the top of the screen. You can check your keyboard that way by pressing the key to start the console mode and see if it prints the letters across the top of the screen. You turn off console mode by pressing the key again.

    Thanks for the tip, I’ll try again and look for this just in case…. but when this issue happens I can use the keyboard to turn the wheels (like, you can see them turning as the vehicle sits) and honk the horn. The brake lights turn on but it won’t reverse. 

    Still no response from EA.
