Consumer Description

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR PADDLE, THE PEDAL. APPROACHING THE NEXT LIGHT, BRAKING HARD HELPED. BUT PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WAS THE BEST OPTION, GIVEN THE SPEED AND HOW CLOSE THE LIGHT WAS WHEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE PEDDLE FROM STICKING. AT THE LIGHT IN NEUTRAL, I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT DID NOT STICK ANY MORE. IF BREAKING HARD AND PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IF GOING THE POSTED SPEED OR MORE TRAFFIC, THERE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THAT DAY I SAW ON DIFFERENT WEBSITE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND LUBRICATED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE THROTTLE BODY AND THE CABLE JUST INCASE. BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. *TR
