The contact owns a 2008 Mazda Tribute. While traveling at 40 mph, the contact changed lanes to pass a vehicle but when he depressed the accelerator pedal to speed up, the pedal went to the floorboard and the vehicle stalled.

The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership and the dealer stated that the air filter and fuel control module had burned out and caused the failure.
