GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK BY THE FLOOR MAT. THIS TIME I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT ALMOST KILLED BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP THE CAR SINCE IT KEPT ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. AFTER REVIEWING THE RECALLS & SUPPOSEDLY THEY FIXED THE ISSUE.BUT I HIGHLY DOUBTS. SAME ISSUE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, IT HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT THAT MAYBE HE STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE SO HE DIDN'T REPORT IT. THEN YESTERDAY, WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. EVEN WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND GOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT MAYBE THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK ON THE FLOOR MAT SO HE PULLED IT BACK. HE HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUMPED ON THE BRAKES UNTIL IT STOPPED. HE THEN CONTINUED DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED AGAIN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A DEATHTRAP AND THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP. *TR
