Multiple occasions where the accelerator pedal sticks. Pressing on the pedal harder will free up the pedal but leads to jerking and unpredictable acceleration. Dealer says this is a very common failure and they have no permanent fix.

The accelerator sticks "hangs" due to carbon build up on the accelerator cable. The owner states that he has to step on the pedal very hard in order to depress or unstick. The vehicle is taken in for this failure about every six months.

Consumer states accelerator sticks and to his understanding that this is a well known problem, it has to do with fuel additives in the high test fuel specified by Cadillac in their owners manual, but when consumer reported the issue he was informed by dealership that the problem is an owners issue and the correction would not be covered under warranty.

While pressing the acclerator pedal vehicle would not acclerate. But when occupant presses gas pedal "hard" vehicle takes off which may cause a collision. Been to dealer twice. Dealer replaced the throttle cable, but problem is still occurring.
