My daughter has a new '07 V6. She had a terrifying experience last night when the throttle became stuck wide open while accelerating on a local road. Fortunately, this happened close to our home and she was able to stop the car with the brakes and get it turned off. She stated that it took both feet on the brake pedal to get the car stopped. When I started it up, it ran normally and I could not get it to repeat the incident.
SOMETHING had happened, as I found the brakes still smoking and the girl was pretty shaken. My first thought was that the aftermarket floor mat may have jammed the gas pedal to the floor, though it did not appear as though it had shifted when I checked it. The kid is a pretty good driver and has not had anything like this occur before, with any car.
Anyone have any thoughts?
