Consumer Description

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN ITS COLD OUT, FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS WATER FROZEN AFTER MY FEET WAS WET FROM THE SNOW. SECOND I THOUGHT THE HEAT FROM THE HEATER DRIED OUT THE MOVEMENT OF THE GAS PEDAL. SO I SPRAYED WD40 ON IT DIDN'T HELP, NEXT THOUGHT IT WAS THE CABLE OUT IN THE ENGINE, I SPRAYED THE CABLE AND LINKAGE DIDN'T HELP. FINALLY IT WARMED UP AND THE STICKING OF THE GAS PEDAL WENT AWAY (2008) NOW IN 2009 THE SAME THING AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP ITS OK, NOT SURE IF SOMETHING IS BINDING OR WHAT. *TR
