This Problem Across All Years
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AS I STARTED UP A HILL THE SPEED LIMIT CHANGED. I GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE PUSH. IT WENT TO THE FLOOR WHERE IT STUCK WIDE OPEN. THE CAR LEAPED FORWARD AND I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE. I REALLY HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP I KNOCKED THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING REALLY ROUGH BUT THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT. I DID NOT CRASH THE CAR AND CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS 64,875 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE FIRST THIS HAS HAPPENED.
