Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A clip that holds the accelerator pedal in position fell off. the vehicle would not accelerate until the pedal was returned to its proper position and the clip was replaced. i feel there needs to be a better retention mechanism to hold the accelerator pedal in position. this could be a major safety concern if this failure were to occur during a passing manuever or other circumstances.
