Consumer Description

I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH INTERSECTION ON A LEFT HAND TURN LANE DRIVING IN THE WRONG GEAR FOR THE SPEED AT WHICH I WAS GOING(20 MPH), I DOWN SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR FOR A HALF A BLOCK HEADING TOWARDS THE NEXT INTERSECTION THAT HAD A RED LIGHT FOR ME. I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF. AFTER LOOKING AT THE PEDAL I NOTICED THE CARPET DOESN'T FIT RIGHT LIKE IT'S SHORT AND MY GAS PEDAL ARM IS EXTREMELY WEAK AND BENDS TOWARDS THE TRANSMISSION SCRAPING THE CARPET THROUGH THE RANGE OF UP/DOWN MOTION. I THINK THE CARPET IS HALF THE PROBLEM THE OTHER HALF IS THE GAS PEDAL ARM. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAS PEDAL RUBS THE CARPET. I PULL THE PEDAL OFF OF THE CARPET EVERY SO OFTEN WITHIN DAYS THE PEDAL IS RUBBING IT AGAIN. *JB
