REPEATED INCIDENCES OF GAS PEDAL BEING STUCK AND UNABLE TO BE DEPRESSED TO GIVE THE VEHICLE FUEL AND ACCELERATE. ESSENTIALLY VEHICLE RANDOMLY LOCKS UP, TYPICALLY AT LOW SPEEDS AS ON A PARKING LOT OR LEAVING A DRIVEWAY OR PARING GARAGE. THE GAS PEDAL FEELS AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING BLOCKING IT FROM BEING UTILIZED WHILE THERE IS NOTHING PHYSICALLY OBSTRUCTING THE PEDAL. AFTER TAPPING AND THEN FRANTICALLY TRYING TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND BREAK IT FREE IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD NECESSITATING QUICK REACTION AND BREAKING. IT IS SCATTERED BUT RECURS PERIODICALLY WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THE TRACTION, SKID, STABILITY ISSUES AND AIRBAGS. SCHEDULED FOR RECALL SERVICES MENTIONED BUT DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH PEDAL. ONCE TOLD IT WAS CLEANED AND ADJUSTED BUT IS MOSTLY IGNORED AND I'M TREATED LIKE I'M NUTS. NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BUT I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE MAY BE HURT. IT IS A FRIGHTENING EVENT AS YOU FEEL NOT IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND VULNERABLE. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ONTO BUSY STREET. EVEN GIVING AMPLE TIME FOR NORMAL TRAFFIC, THE INABILITY TO PROVIDE GAS TO THE VEHICLE LEFT US AT THE VEHICLES MERCY AND IN A VULNERABLE SPOT TO BE BRIAR SIDES BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MAT. *TR
