Description of the problem | When the temperature is cold, the accelerator will not allow itself to be depressed after 1-2 minutes of driving, and then for the next 10-15 minutes. Occasionally, tapping on the pedal, or pushing extremely hard will make it move and the vehicle will dangerously and rapidly accelerate due to the excessive force required until the driver is able to adjust the force, which sometimes causes the pedal to become stuck closed again on a high speed road. Over the years, this problem has become progressively worse. It is very dangerous and should be fixed by the manufacturer. |
