Consumer Description

ACCELERATOR STUCK WHEN I WAS STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT AFTER DRIVING IN NORMAL RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY SLAMMING ON BRAKES (BUT I DID NOT THINK TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE), AND THE ENGINE SLOWED AFTER A MOMENT OR TWO. THEN THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN EVERY TIME I TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO GET OFF ROAD AND PARK. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE ENGINE RACED. I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE FLOOR MAT - I DID, AND IT WAS NOT UNDER ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER COOLING DOWN, THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY, BUT I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR
