Accelerator presses against unsupported carpet, causing the accelerator to stick at full throttle on crowded roads. Was able to control vehicle by shutting off the ignition.

The accelerator stuck at maximum speed, had to turn the engine off severaltimes in order to get back in normal working condition. Consumer believes cruise control switch was on but a speed to cruise at was not on, consumer states he accelerated from the bridge toll both and started to go up a hill, pressed the accelerator to maxium and then released his foot, the vehicle did not slow down despite the fact that his foot was on the brake, consumer turned engine off switched the transmission to neutral, and started the vehicle again, the engine still raced so key was turned off again.
