| When foot is taken off of the accelerator, the car continues to accelerate. this occurs anytime you accelerate, from 0 to 50 and from 50 to 70. substantial brake pressure has to be applied for the acceleration to stop. this happens whether or not the cruise is on. the dealership refused to fix under warranty as the mileage had expired by 500 miles. *tr | |||

| I had taken the car for an oil change. when i got into the car and started to pull away from the shop the accelerator pedal stuck in the down position causing the car to surge forward. i was unable to stop the car using the brakes and struck the bumper of a parked car with the passenger side of my car. the car still would not stop so i turned off the ignition. the car stopped. i put the car in park and restarted the engine the rpm immediately went to more than 4000 rpm . i turned off the ignition and manually pulled up the accelerator pedal the engine idled normally after restarting. i drove the car to the dealer and left it with them. the accelerator continued to stick in the down position and required manually returning at each time i needed to slow down. *tr | |||
