Consumer Description

GAS PEDAL CONSTANTLY STICKS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE DANGEROUSLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY (I.E. FROM DEAD STOP OR WHILE ALREADY IN MOTION IF YOU REMOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN). THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO START OUT FROM A DEAD STOP AND YOU HAVE TO INCREASE FOOT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR TO UNSTICK IT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE. THE NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINT PAGES ARE FULL OF THIS EXACT SAME SCENARIO, INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ACCEPTED OWNERSHIP OF THIS OBVIOUS MALFUNCTION AND OBVIOUS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER VIA A SAFTEY RECALL ISSUE. *AK
