This happened to me in my 2004 Honda Civic a few times. I finally figured out it was the floor mat that was jamming up the gas pedal. I fortunately was quick thinking and pulled my emergency brake. I’m also very aware of the floor mats in my vehicles now.<br/> __________________<br/> I once had a similar problem in a Fusion I was test driving. The pedal got matted to the floor, because my boot got stuck between the pedal and the bottom of the console. I just steered a lot, didn’t hit anyone, and lit up the tires. It is not the correct way to handle the situation, I admit, but it was fun, and quite showy!”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://albertsjo.tumblr.com/post/422323063/how-to-stop-vehicle-with-stuck-gas-pedal" class="tumblr_blog">Jo’s Journal: How to stop vehicle with stuck gas pedal</a> </em>http://alanbar.us/post/424172897http://alanbar.us/post/424172897Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:58:50 -0500<p>Today was filled with lots of things that I did’t want to do, but had to.
