“Since I bought the car, I noticed on motion the force on the pedal started reducing. When it happens I repress it again which will become stable at that particular time. Will got stuck while in motion( 55mpr). I took to the dealership they told me nothing wrong with the car, and then I was under warranty. This morning I took it to mechanic, they told me it's electrical problem with throttle pedal and seat.”
