I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK IN MY APT PARKING STRUCTURE AFTER WORK ON 9/14/02, UPON FINDING A PARKING SPACE I MADE A 3 POINT TURN TO GET INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I REVERSED THEN STOPPED AND PLACED THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. AT THAT POINT I BARELY TOUCH THE GAS EXPECTING TO COAST INTO THE SPACE AND THEN SUDDELY THE MOTOR JUST STARTED REVVING UP. I DIDN'T THINK TWICE AND JUST JUMPED ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET BUT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. WE ENDED UP JUMPING THE CEMENT PARKING STOPPER ON THE GROUND, WHICH LIFTED THE FRONT END INTO THE AIR ABOUT 2-3 FEET, AND SENT US SMASHING INTO THE BLOCK WALL DIRECTLY INFRONT OF US. I NOW HAVE $2,200 WORTH OF FRONT END DAMAGE, AND AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THAT TRUCK AGAIN.*AK

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THAT IS, WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, AND I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT RELEASE AFTER I HAVE TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. THE DEPRESSED PEDAL WILL REMAIN IN THIS POSITION UNTIL I HAVE PUMPED IT SEVERAL TIMES. ONLY AFTER I HAVE REPEATEDLY PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL WILL IT BE RELEASED AND RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. WHILE PUMPING THE PEDAL, I MUST SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLY THE BRAKE TO DECELERATE THE VEHICLE.*AK
