I WAS AT A LOCAL DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND I WAS STOPPED, MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I WAS BEGINNING TO LEAVE, CAR IN DRIVE AND I HIT THE PASSENGER FRONT RIGHT TIRE ON THE CURB. SO I LEFT OFF THE GAS, TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET OFF THE CURB BUT THE GAS PEDAL "STUCK." IT DID NOT LIFT UP! I TRIED TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO UN-STICK THE GAS PEDAL BY SHOVING MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL AND LIFTING IT UP! I WAS FORCED FULL SPEED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN MY CAR!! SCARY, AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THANKFULLY WE ARE ALL OK, BUT MY GAS PEDAL SHOULD NOT BE STICKING!
