Reported at 22,000 miles, July 2006 CrashInjury

The accelerator sometimes freezes and I cannot press it down. When I press very hard it releases and goes too fast from the stop position. I was in the school zone stopped when I tried to start again, it froze. The guard was trying to make me go, I was trying but pedal was frozen. When I pushed very hard, it went very fast from stop. The cop saw me clocked me and gave me a $360.00 ticket. I tried to explain the problem. Did not believe me. This has happened several times but never this bad.
