Accelerator pedal sticks. Driver has to put excess pressure on pedal to unstick which causes unsafe "jackrabbit" surges and is a serious safety hazard.

The accelerator pedal sticks badly. When you finally manage to press hard enough to make it move, it causes the van to violently lurch forward which can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and/or an accident.

The gas pedal sticks on car like there was something underneath, and happened many times. The only way to get it to work is to press down on the pedal really hard, which is unsafe.

When you push on the accelerator somtimes it sticks and like something is blocking it. When it unsticks the added preasure causes the van to shoot forward and you could rear end another vehicle or loose control around a corner. I report this and the dealership did not care because they were to busy tio get to it the day I took the vehicle in.

The location of the gas pedal and the brake pedal are too close together. Driver can press both pedals at the same time. This may cause a loss of control and crash. It is possible to move gas pedal bracket where rods are attached.
