Consumer Description

ACCELERATOR "STICKS" WHEN FLOORED, MAKING THE CAR SPEED UP UNCONTROLABLY. VERY DANGEROUS, AS CAR SPEEDS UP UNCONTROLABLY. ACCELERATOR MUST BE "PUMPED" TO UNSTICK IT. HAPPENS ONLY WHEN ACCELERATOR IS FLOORED, WHICH IS RARE. TOOK IT TO A DEALER- NO RECALL, COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS OK. DIDN'T STICK FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT APPARENTLY ONLY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FLOORED IT.*AK
