1 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2008

My gas pedal is sticking. I initially thought my brakes were going. I just had my rear brakes replaced and my car passed inspection. I was told I'd need new front brakes in the next six months. Three times, I've had the gas pedal stick. When I try to apply brakes, it barely slows down the car and the motor gets really loud.
