My gas pedal sticks. When I turn on my car to back out of a parking spot the pedal will not move unless I push down hard on it. To avoid hitting cars backing out or parking lots you have to use force on the pedal to move the car and it jerks forward fast with no control other than to hold your foot over the brake at the same time so you do not accelerate into a vehicle.
Driving down my residential street, slowed down slightly to turn into drive then slowly accelerated into and gas pedal sticks---had to slam on brakes to stop from hitting side of garage. This is the third incident I have had in which I am in the middle of driving and the gas pedal has stuck!.
