Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, (THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE) WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD TAURUS, THE GAS PEDDLE STUCK TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT ACCELERATED AS IF I WAS RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON, HOWEVER, I WASN'T USING MY CRUISE AT THE TIME. I ENDED UP RIDING THE BREAKS FOR AWHILE UNTIL I FINALLY HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT WAS STILL STUCK. I PHYSICALLY HAD TO REACH DOWN AND PULL THE PEDDLE UP OFF THE FLOOR. THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAPPENED IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THEN IT QUIT AFTER I TURNED THE KEY OFF. *TR
