Replying to: danuta (Oct 15, 2009 10:38 am) That sort of thing is pretty isolated on any vehicle, but there are mechanical parts and they can get stuck. Once, many years ago (probably 24), the accelerator pedal on my Dad's 1980 Subaru GL wagon became stuck. Luckily, there was space on the roadway to avoid the rest of the traffic until he was able to get it unstuck. I am not sure what he did to fix it after the fact (at the time, he frantically pulled up on the pedal with his hand until it finally let loose), but that was the only time we had a problem with it. The whole family was in the car, though. It was pretty crazy; I'll bet we were approaching if not over 100 mph, which was pretty darn fast in that thing.
