Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving on a local freeway at posted speed, i was approaching a off-ramp and applied a gently push on the brake to transition to the off-ramp. all of the sudden the vehicle accelerator increased its pressure and started to increase the speed of travel. i then attempted to tap on the brake more vigurously with no success. next attempt was to tap on the accelerator to clear it from being stuck, next i moved the floor mat thinking it might have caught up under the pedal at which point the vehicle continued to accelerate. i had to move the automatic shifter from drive to neutral and back into drive while still applying the brake and then i tapped the throttle pedal a few more times at which point finally cleared the problem and the vehicle performed as normal. service is being scheduled for this problem. *nm
