| Description of the problem | Twice driving on freeway we push gas pedal down to accelerate and car does nothing, wasn't sure if it was going to stop or ?? Same thing happens when we're driving and want to speed up and for example pass a car or go through an intersection. The problem has been intermittent but the longer i drive the car the more frequently it's been happening. The past couple of days a new problem: when backing up carefully when i put my foot on the brake i cannot push the brake down all the way, feels like a metal bar is blocking it. Will be leaving it at the fiat dealership to fix this problem. The first problem seems like they can't fix it (taken it in 3 times). I was told by one of the managers at the last visit that a "go pedal" is suppose to fix the problem. Can be installed at a place in signal hill, ca for $300. |
