problem #3

Sep 122007

Alero 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 97,500 miles
The accelerator pedal on my 2002 olds Alero is sticking. The first time this happened I was going down a mountain I live on and had to brake the entire time; I have never had to do that before. The second time it happened I was ended up going 40 on a flat road and my foot never hit the gas pedal. This has happened on several occasions since then and I'm not sure how to fix it. Thank you.
