I was driving to work as usual, when my accelerator pedal got stuck while trying to find a parking space. It was a cold morning, around 12 degrees, so I first thought that I was slipping on ice and had no control of the car. Once off the icy patch, my car continued to take off on me, even with my foot on the brakes. It actually continued to speed up and that was the moment I knew I was in trouble. I was in the parking lot when this happened, so I did not have alot of room or time to put it in neutral or actually jump out. I sped out of the entry, through the street, over the curb, through the fence and landed on railroad ties, that thankfully high centered me, and another fence that ultimately stopped me. Both bags deployed and my car was totaled. Once I knew that I was o. K. , I put the car in park, and the engine was still revving. That, I know, is not right. The whole time I could smell burnt rubber or brakes. I know the difference between my gas and brake pedal, and I definitely had my brakes applied. Why would I want to cause this kind of damage to my car and especially myself ? I could have actually killed myself or someone else. If it was not for the railroad ties that high centered me. I would have gone right through the second fence and ended up, who knows where. I definitely had an angel watching over me. I am so upset and sore that I don't know what to do. I spent all day on the internet looking at other incidents involving the same make and model with accelerator problems, especially in cold weather. I guess this is not just "driver error" that everyone seems to think, now is it.
Accelerator pedal sticks when depressed-extremely dangerous! needed to shift to neutral and physically reach down and pull pedal up while travelling at a high rate of speed. Thankfully no other drivers were nearby!.
When the vehicle is started the accelerator sticks in the idle position. Once the vehicle is put in gear, the accelerator won't move unless using extreme force, then it will lunge forward or backward if in reverse. The problem was momentarily fixed by lubricating the throttle body but after 15 to 20,000 miles problem reappears.
While driving, consumer has problem accelerating. After contacting dealer, dealer noted that there is a build up of carbon in throttle body. Consumer states when attempting to apply the accelerator it will stick, causing consumer to press harder on the gas to move the vehicle foward or in reverse, which then causes the vehicle to lurch foward at times.
Consumer was traveling 2mph and accelerator pedal got stuck. When pushing it down harder vehicle went into a crosswalk, and hit a pedestrian. Dealership was aware of problem. Consumer states this is the second time this has happened consumer states the first time it happened was on Feb 23, 2001 she hit a vehicle as ahe was trying to accelerate.
When stepping on accelerator it will stick without a prior warning. Consumer had to drive to side and turn off engine. Then, restarted and accelerator worked again, and after awhile would stick once again.
Accelerator sticks when trying to take off from a complete stop. Happens when slowing down and trying to speed up. Also, happens when at a complete stop. Contacted dealer, and the dealer cleaned engine and replaced throttle. Problem still occurs.
While driving 50 mph accelerator pedal stuck, causing loss of vehicle control, cause unknown. Dealer could not identify cause. Please give any further details.
Engine hestitates/lurches forward at any speed when using regular unleaded gasoline. Problem less frequent when using premium gas, but is causing carbon buildup on throttle body over time, which leads to the accelerator sticking. Local dealer stated they have been aware of this problem. Dealer suggested lower grade gasoline to prevent carbon buildup. Dealer offered no explaination why engine is hesitating.
The accelerator pedal became stuck, which caused the vehicle to accelerate faster.
