I tried to lift the gas pedal with my foot by jamming it underneath the pedal and pulling it up, but it floated freely and continued to fall back to its full-throttle position. …”
NHTSA complaint #10468926, filed 2012-08, 146,000 miles“Lately while driving my car will suddenly jump forward. It seems to happen more so when going from 2nd to 3rd gear.

I have taken it to the dealership here and they have said nothing about the situations. They claim, I am pushing too hard on the gas, which I don't do. They also say to make sure I have enough coolant in the engine which I always do. I am afraid the engine will catch fire or something with the way it is running. …”
