I was driving in my 2004 Ford Escape and changing lanes. As I had my foot on the accelerator, the pedal stuck. I tried to hit the brakes, but the vehicle would not stop I was on a crowded expressway and the vehicle was going at a speed that exceeded the flow of traffic. I frantically had to use the emergency brake. This incident occurred after the vehicle was recalled and I took the vehicle back, was serviced and still the vehicle failed!

While being operated on an expressway, the accelerator pedal could no longer be controlled and remained in an open and high speed position. (nar)

While driving on the interstate, I pressed the accelerator pedal to accelerate from 60 mph to 70 mph. When I pressed the accelerator pedal, it went to the floor and remained there until I reached a maximum speed of 110 mph. I attempted to pump the pedal to unstick it and depressed the brake. The only way I was able to stop was to shift into neutral and depress the brake strongly. Even after removing the key from the ignition, the pedal remained depressed to the floor. This was a hertz rental car so I don't have information on it other than the registration. Mo757kfr.
