Gas pedal sticks, will not push down. Must step on it hard and it jerks your vehicle and accelerates fast. Can cause an accident when at red light by either rear ending the person in front of you or not being able to step on the gas to get your vehicle moving when vehicles are behind you. Causes you to be stopped in the middle on the highway. Can not remember exactly when it started but is getting worse. Gas gauge also quit working. Service station says it could be very expensive to fix. Have to judge gas on mileage used.
