The gas pedal sticks regularly. It sticks when the vehicle is at a stand still. It is very hard to press the pedal at times. When I do push the pedal it takes a lot of pressure to get it pushed in and the vehicle then darts forward very quickly. When in a tight space this can be quite dangerous as I am unable to control it. 8nlm.
