Consumer Description

WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND LET OFF FOR A SECOND AND THEN TRY TO RETURN TO THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS NOTHING. A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL IT "DEAD PEDAL" IT HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME HIT MANY TIMES DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD IN THE SNOW AND ALMOST GOT ME AND MY WIFE KILLED. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A STUMP THERE, WE WOULD HAVE PLUNGED ABOUT 500 FEET OFF THE EDGE OF THE MOUNTAIN. NOT COOL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I GUESS WHEN IT GETS ME KILLED, I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY FAMILY SUE DODGE OVER IT.
