Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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. *ak
