Description of the problem | I was traveling to a training op on hwy 301 south with 2 co-workers in my vehicle. I eased out to pass a vehicle and punched to gas to get on around him. The gas pedal stuck in the wide open position (or felt like wide open). It acelerated from about 50 mph to 100 mpg in such a short time, it seemed like seconds. I had heard a rumor that the floor mat may be the issue, so.. While accelerating at an absolutely unbelievable speed, i attempted to re arrange my floor mat. I was scared to death, bent over, traveling at over 100 mph. Omg. Finally something happened and the vehicle pedal let go. I was visibly shaken as were my passengers. It scared my to death. |
