Most problems have simply been a nuisance, especially on top of the six recalls on my vehicle. Including 5 recalled tires which took two months to replace and showed serious signs of tread separation. However, four days ago while driving on the highway, the gas pedal became lodged to the ground. I reacted by putting my foot under the pedal and pulling it forward. The pedal then fell off and became lodged under the brake pedal. I was lucky to get off the road safely.
