something really wrong happened tonite that i have never heard nor read about. i was kinda racing some kid as a joke only going to about 60mph tops but accelerating hard then i tried to break and i realized it was hard. it was like the gas pedal got stuck and was continuously acceleerating. i could break and then i would let off and it wuld slowly but continuously accelerate. i shut the car off, put the parking break on, and then turned it back on and the rpms revved to 3 and i didnt know what to do. i also sensed an odd smell. i played around with the gas pedal like shook it and jiggled it and turned the car back on and it was back to normal. what happened?!?!?! anyone ever hear of this????

 

you had the parking break on, of coz you could smell sth

just that the thortte got stuck due to cold weahter, have it to your dealer and fix the problem

usually they tighten the gas pedal when i bring it for service

 

o really no wonder everytime i get serviced from the dealer and i get it back and feel the gas pedal a little firmer

 

yes, it's their responsibility to check the gas pedal to avoid such incidents like he faced got stuck in the cold weather

not only the gas pedal, but the foot brake as well

 

To be honest they probally do not check the gas pedal during a service unless it feels weird when they drive it in.
There is a Bulletin about a stiff gas pedal for acura, mainly around coastal areas.
Something about the moisture and salt deposits makes the butterfly plate stick.
Mention this to the dealer, it's fairly new bulletin.

 

not just to acura, most cars do have the problem

esp in cold weather

 

This may be true but I'm just letting people know that there is an Acura bulletin which is a free fix if in warranty still for a sticky or hard throttle.
