Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GETS STUCK. THIS CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM SINCE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE RPM'S CAN OCCUR AND CAN CAUSE COLLISION DUE TO CAR ACCELERATING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THIS WAS SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION BUT THAT IN ITSELF CAN BE A DANGER SINCE SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND HYDRAULIC BRAKES WHICH CAN MAKE THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *JB
