Consumer Description

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 I LEFT HOME TO DO ERRANDS AS I DROVE DOWN TO THE FIRST INTERSECTION AND STOPPED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE GAS PEDAL WITH NOT MOVE IT WAS STUCK, I TRIED TO PUSH IT DOWN WITH BOTH FEET BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER, FINALLY AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND I MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME AND NOT DRIVE THIS CAR. AS I TRAVEL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND DOWN THE ROAD I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE PEDAL STUCK. I'M ON A 35 MPH HIGHWAY AND I SLOWED TO A TERRIFYING 3MPH BEFORE THE PEDAL WOULD WORK AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION OR RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A FATAL ACCIDENT HAPPENS! *TR
