When stopped at a stop sign or light and trying to go after the light turns green accelerator won't go down and move car forward because it sticks and I have to take foot off accelerator and push it down again to get it to go. This is now happening every day from time to time. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow because I found no recalls on this car listed yet.
