  VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

  I HAVE HAD MY 2002 BMW 745LI TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT & IT'S DOING IT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR WILL FREQUENTLY NOT RESPOND WHEN ACCELLERATING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU'RE TURNING A CORNER WITH SOMEONE BEHIND YOU OR ACCELLERATING TO PULL AROUND SOMEONE ON THE FREEWAY.
