Consumer Description

I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE AUTO IN FRONT OF ME CHANGED LANES AND I ACCELERATED TO GO PAST THE AUTO. THE ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD AND WOULD NOT RELEASE EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND GET IT TO RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL AT FULL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GLIDED TO A STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ALLOWED ME TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE ACCELERATOR IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
