“Car does not accelerate when gas pedal is pressed - have had numerous near misses of being rear-ended when pulling out onto street because of the delay in acceleration.”
NHTSA complaint #10164238, filed 2006-08, 2,000 miles“While accelerating from 60 MPH on the highway, the accelerator pedal became stuck. This caused the vehicle to accelerate up to 80 MPH before the consumer was able to reach down while driving and lift the accelerator pedal by hand. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and they informed the consumer that the carpet caused the accelerator pedal to stick. The consumer did not agree with the dealers evaluation. The consumer lifted the accelerator off of the floor and indicated that he would have had to remove the carpet first if it was in the way. Only the accelerator was stuck.”
