2005 chevy Aveo with 12,000 miles. For the past two days, when I let up on the throttle gently, the car does not slow down, exactly like complaint # 10262822 described. The pedal feels as though the linkage is sticking somewhere. If I "hit" the throttle hard and immediately release, the throttle returns to idle position.
