The accelerator on my minivan would get stuck and not release. I had to throw the gearshift into neutral once to disengage it. I took the car to the dealership, they looked at it and said they could not find anything wrong with it. Similar episodes happened at least three other times. The lase time was as I was driving up my driveway into the garage with my one year old daughter in the van. The accelerator would not release and we crashed into the interior wall of my house. We, fortunately, were not hurt but there was extensive damage to my house and the van.
The contact owns a 2007 Kia Sedona. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle accelerated and became stuck at approximately 60 mph. The contact placed both feet on the brake pedal in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but nothing happened. She then proceeded to kick the side of the accelerator pedal for approximately one minute before the pedal released. There was no crash. The dealer was notified and confirmed that the pedal sticks and will replace the accelerator pedal. The pedal is currently on order. The current mileage was 3,434 and failure mileage was 3,300. Updated 3/11/08 the consumer stated this defect happened twice. Updated 03/11/08
