Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

If this were an automatic shift car, there would have been an accident. Throttle continues to stick even without any floor mats in close proximity of the throttle peddle. Placing toe behind throttle peddle to lower RPM has no effect whatsoever..”
