Frequently the car stalls suddenly in traffic, looses power I can't accelerate this is very dangerous potential to get hit. The other problem is the car vibrates and all of sudden a lot of smoke comes out from back and rich gasoline smell comes and the speed turns to 0. I turn it off for five minutes and restart sometimes it starts ok sometimes it vibrates again. This happens very frequently

Gas pedal gets stuck when depressed fully during takeover maneuvers or passing. This has happened on three occasions since we purchased the car used exactly two years ago in Virginia and after the third time, I decided never to push the pedal all the way in for fear of an accident specially when my children are present. The pedal did become unstuck after a few frightening seconds on all occasions. Speed was not high, 35 mph once and 45 or so the other at the most.
