“The gas pedal became stuck when I was driving around local streets. I was stopping my truck because I was coming up to an intersection. When I lifted my foot from the gas pedal it did not come up. Almost as if the cruise control was engaged. It was scary and I went a little too far into the intersection with my foot on the brake.”

It decelerates very quickly luckily I've been able to merge to the emergency lane on the highway but this last time (1/17/21) it was very scary as cars were swerving in order to avoid hitting me. I'm unable to accelerate so there's cars going 60-80mph flying past me. …”
