Consumer Description

MY WIFE TOLD ME LAST NIGHT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 2 CASES OVER THE YEARS WITH HER 2002.5 VW PASSAT WHERE HER GAS PEDAL ALSO STUCK AND HER CAR ACCELERATED TO 80MPH+ ON NJ RT 1 BEFORE SHE PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL. SHE REMEMBERS THAT IT HAPPENED ON VERY COLD MORNINGS. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT VW USES A SIMILAR DESIGN TO TOYOTA IN THESE CARS? *TR
