THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT TRACKS ARE FAULTY, FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT TO STAY SECURED IN POSITION CAUSED THE SEAT TO JERK BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING REMOVING THE DRIVERS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE SLOWING AT AN INTERSECTION, THE PASSENGERS SEAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE DRIVER SEAT MALFUNCTION WITH MORE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE. NLM

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
