Description of the problem | When i drive, the gas pedal will get stuck and either stay at the speed without me setting cruise control or it may accelerate on its own. To get it loose, i have to jiggle the gas pedal (which can be very dangerous especially while driving), this usually stops the problem but i'm concerned that someday it will stop working and i won't be able to control this anymore. If i put the car in park or neutral it increases the rpm from 1 to 3 or 4. Also if the rpm are increased while in park it makes it super hard to shift to drive and is stressful to my transmission. |
