Description of the problem | Car was stationary. Decided to go into another lane so while turning into other lane, depressed gas pedal firmly and it stuck to the floor revving up the engine to where ii immediately slammed the brakes on but still hit the car in front of me. This happened before while entering the freeway from an onramp where i "unstuck" the pedal by wedging my foot under the side of the pedal and pulling out. I thought it was a one time thing and dismissed it. The freeway was pretty empty. This new circumstance was completely different as i was at a stop in traffic and this happening is extremely dangerous. I consider it to be defective should be taken care of from the manufacture.*dt |
