| Description of the problem | This morning on my way to work, i accelerated to pass a vehicle making a left turn off the highway, and when i passed said vehicle and took my foot off the gas, it did not slow down. The pedal remained stuck to the floor and i had to force the brakes through the floor to get it to stop. It was still revving madly. I put the car in neutral and it sounded like it was going to explode it was revving so hard. I stomped on the accelerator pedal while in neutral, hard, 3 times and it popped back up and became unstuck. I am 4 months pregnant and am deathly afraid of driving this vehicle. This is the first time this has ever happened to me in this vehicle, but more testimony can be found @ http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F1f4e72/79. |
