While driving gas pedal got stuck twice. When it happened the first time pedal was hard. Second time gas pedal would not come back up, and car continued to gain speed. Consumer tried pressing brake at same time, vehicle finally slowed down, and consumer was able to put car in neutral and turn it off. Also, stated engine was racing out of control. Took to dealer, and they were not able to duplicate problem. Consumer felt they were forced back into an unsafe car.
