Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, I FULLY DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND UPON RELEASING IT, NOTICED IT WAS STUCK IN THE FULLY DEPRESSED POSITION. UPON PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HITTING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE IT WAS IT THE STUCK POSITION, IT BECAME DISLODGED AND WAS FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR WHILE DRIVING IT, THE FIRST TIME BEING IN MID-NOVEMBER 2011. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND IN PARK I AM NOW ABLE TO RECREATE THE PEDAL GETTING STUCK, AS IT GETS STUCK ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE PEDAL. *TR
