When the vehicle was driven forward, the gas pedal would stick and hard pressure had to be applied in order for the pedal to work. Caution was used when the vehicle was pulled forward because there was a loss of power.

Driving came to a stop. Went to pull away from the intersection and accelerator pedal was pushed to the floor, it didn't respond. Then all of a sudden it responded to full speed. Had to brake right away to avoid a collision. Contacted dealer who said it was a maintenance problem, and that carbon built up on the accelerator linkage.
