NHTSA Complaint #10313927 — 2004 SUBARU LEGACY

I WAS STEERING THE CAR, JUST LEAVING THE LOT OF A HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE. I MADE A RIGHT TURN, DROVE THE DISTANCE OF, PERHAPS, A CITY BLOCK AND MOVED INTO THE LEFT LANE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I HAD TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO STOP. THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING! THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK! FEELING TERRIFIED, CONFUSED, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, I SHOVED THE GEAR INTO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF. LATER, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN THE "FLOOR MAT EXCUSE" THAT THE GAS PEDAL HAD STUCK FOR THAT REASON; I WAS NOT TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR A CHECKUP. *TR
