On 9/7/13, while accelerating onto route 80 in nj, i pushed the gas pedal to the floor, the accelerator stuck flat on the floor. i had to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. fortunately nobody was next to me. i was finally able to use the side of my foot to pop it back up. it performed normally after that, though i did not push it to the floor again. *tr
