2000 Protege lx accelerator pedal was stuck in the depressed position. As a result of the accelerator pedal sticking the consumer was involved in an accident. On Feb 21, 2000 the vehicle was taken to the dealer because the consumer heard a high pitched ping noise coming from the vehicle. The dealer was unable to duplicate the noise. The left rear door lock assembly was defective. The vehicle would accelerated and jerk while accelerating.

Rear passenger door remote locking actuator failed.
Coverings on driver and passenger side key locks that prevent moisture from entering the lock were made from plastic. This plastic becomes brittle after several years of exposure and use and can break. When the part breaks, pieces from the broken cover can easily be lodged in the lock rendering the lock unusable (as happened to me).
