Abstract
A vehicle control device comprises an accelerator () which a driver of a vehicle operates in order to accelerate the vehicle, and a controller configured to execute a limit control for imposing a limitation on a driving force, in such a manner that the driving force is prevented from becoming excessively large, when a predetermined limit condition is satisfied. The controller executes the limit control and a mistaken operation notification, when a mistaken operation state has been occurring. The controller executes a failure notification, when the mistaken operation state has not been occurring at a failure occurrence time point at which a control failure that the controller cannot execute the limit control has occurred. The controller continues executing the mistaken operation notification without executing the failure notification at the failure occurrence time point, if the mistaken operation state has been occurring at the failure occurrence time point.
