April 2008 CrashFireInjuryDeath

Reston, va, march 29, 2009 I have a gas pedal problem. It accelerates by itself and when I try to put my car at p (parking) there is a big noise and it smells like burning plastic. I have gone to my car dealer 5 times in the last 5 months for the same problem. Each time they said they cannot duplicate the problem. The 2 last times I brought my car to the dealer they were talking about carpet (floor mat) problem. My last visit to my dealer was on 3/17/2009 and yesterday 3/28/2009 I experienced the same problem.
