| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway and went to accelerate around another vehicle. The gas peddle was stuck full open even after letting off the gas. I made sure it was not the carpet holding the peddle down. The engine rpm's was revving very high also as the car kept accelerating out of control. After approximately 15-20 seconds the peddle released and everything was fine. The first occurrence was sep. 2012 and i've had a second occurrence on march 2013. |
