 Description of the problem1. On november 4th, i traveled early in the day from pittsburgh to altoona, pa using my cruise control often on the highways and roads. I returned to pittsburgh after work and i picked up my daughter at school around 5 pm. We drove and went to dinner. We drove and attended an event at 7:30 pm. 2. Following the college admissions event around 9:00 pm, we drove several miles to our home. As we were leaving downtown pittsburgh, and one mile from our home, the car's accelerator pedal remained down on its own, pushing the car forward. I stood on the brake to stop the car as we came to a stop light. I took my foot off the brake and the accelerator pedal remained in the down position with the car accelerating on its own. I once again stopped the car by standing on the brake. I then tried to lift the pedal physically with my hand and foot, believing that would help. I also tried moving the mat. The car had been inspected two weeks earlier and the mat lock was not put back on. The car was moving on its own. I stopped the car by standing on the brake, put it in park and the engine revved very high and i quickly turned off the engine. This had never happened before in the nearly 2 year history of owning the car. For one mile, the car's accelerator was stuck to the floor of the vehicle. 3. In the morning, i called the dealership that services the car and had conducted the inspection two weeks earlier. I used my aaa service to tow the car into the dealership. The tow truck driver did start the car and the pedal was no longer stuck. The dealership was unable to recreate the event and returned my car in one week stating they had opened a file, contacted the manufacturer, and that i could come and take my car back and drive it. It appeared they drove it 35 miles in that time period. I am driving the car and i have not used my cruise control. I remain concerned for the safety of myself, my family and my community. I am not sure what i should do.
