Vehicle Speed Control problem #1

While at a stop light in mountain view at California Ave. In California , as I pulled away from a red light intersection and I decided to do a passing manuever on the vehicle next to me I fully deppresed the gas pedal all the way and felt the gas pedal give the right and moved to the left and quickly lost feeling of gas pedal and became a safety issue as a pulled over I noticed the damaged gas pedal assembly. Took the vehicle the next day and the looked at it and seen the damage. They said they never seen a issue like this before, I believe this is a safety concern for any driver.
