Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE GAS PEDAL HAS LOCKED IN AN IDLE POSITION. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS IN MOTION SUDDENLY THERE IS NO LONGER ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER MOVING FORWARD. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON WHICH SEEMS TO RESET THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN I CAN CONTINUE ON MY WAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE ANY ONE CAN HIT ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES
