VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
GAS PEDAL STICKS. MAKES TRUCK JERK QUICKLY FORWARD IN DRIVE GEAR, OR JERK QUICKLY BACKWARD WHEN IN REVERSE. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT ABOUT 34000 MILES, HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AT 67000 MILES. LESS THAN 34000 MILES AGAIN. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. IT IS HARD TO PARK THE TRUCK, BACK THE TRUCK UP, OR START MOVEMENT OF THE TRUCK IN TIGHT PLACES. THE TRUCK COULD LURCH OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OR REAR. THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE STOMPED TO GET IT UNSTUCK. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION.
